Two Minutes Before Midnight
Bartosz Beda WHERE: Ro2 Art The Cedars 1501 S. Ervay St. Dallas TX, 75215 WHEN: May 7 - June 4 , 2022 OPENING RECEPTION: May 7 , 7 - 10 pm For the exhibition, Two Minutes Before Midnight, Bartosz Beda introduces new paintings which explore humankind and the issues that societies grapple with from the past to the present. Bartosz poses questions juxtaposing the indoctrination of children in schools with the looming threat of the end of the world. In his artist's statement Beda states that “‘warnings’ and emptiness of life itself, where individualism and narcissism are a commodity and not a prophecy of failure.” This statement is a clear representation of the overwhelming dread that wars, climate change, and the rapid change of the human condition can cause.

Peggy Wauters WHERE: Ro2 Art in The Cedars 1501 S. Ervay St. Dallas TX. 75215 WHEN: May 7 - June 4 , 2022 OPENING RECEPTION: May 7 , 7 - 10 pm For Recomposed, Peggy Wauters mines magazines, brochures and various documents to find imagery, from fragments of human faces to animals and architecture, which are disambiguated from their original, for use as devices in her new “recomposed” paintings and prints. By reworking these objects, she brings new perspective and energy to them, while creating imagined realities. In her dense new paintings, the world seems to be turned upside-down, full of humanoid creatures and strange landscapes. In a series of accompanying prints, the artist combines attributes of various people in order to create new identities. |
