Continuing his series on the legendary Texas Fair icon, Big Tex, Dallas based artist Brian K. Jones offers a new take on the towering cowboy. The burning monument in the likeness of the artist himself holds a mirror to current events as inequality, corruption and greed leave the world burning, taking Big Tex down with it. With the Texas State Fair currently halted and it’s magical distractions locked away, our eyes are opened to what the world has become!

___________________________________________
Alexander Paulus’s new body of work boasts a dazzling color palette depicting the bizarre predicaments the artist has become recognized and beloved for. Savior Energy’s comical chaos provides a small break from reality, while giving the viewer space to reflect on these current confusing times. Topsy turvy perspectives and outrageous scenarios unravel with highways to nowhere, dreamlike landscapes, and inane pop culture references. Paulus’s work has a unique influence on the psyche evoking a simultaneously lighthearted and unnerving edge. When we’re uncertain what to believe, the artist implores us to look within ourselves for the answers.
