Gallery M2: Kings Of The Lone Star – Texas Graffiti Art
So here’s the latest exhibit of street artists in Houston. It’s been exciting to see the development of the “street art/fine art” dialog over the past few years in Houston. I think it’s similar to the dialog in the 1970’s of “fashion photography/fine art”. It seems that the consensus is about the same in that just as fashion photography of certain types are widely considered fine art, street art of certain types are now considered similarly. I will admit to having my initial negative view of ‘vandal art’ in the past. However, as I’ve gotten to know more of the work and some of the artists, I’ve curbed my opinion. I do love the fact that this is a still-contentious issue as one might argue all art should be.
In addition to showing 2 pieces from each of the 18 artists, there were display cases containing items of importance to each one of them. This historical element was very surprising and provided unexpected context for viewers.
This particular exhibit was hosted in the always-dark Gallery M2. The crowd seemed to be more of a drinking crowd than a buying crowd although all the price lists were gone. Indeed, only two works were indicated as sold. This means, there are some buy opportunities if you like this kind of work.
