NATHANIEL DONNETT “The best of the Houston Fine Art Fair”

The best of the Houston Fine Art Fair: See the work that’s wowing a city

                              by Tyler Rudick for Culture Map Houston

The 2012 Houston Fine Art Fair is in the home stretch of its four-day run. It’s showcased some of the biggest names in modern and contemporary art, including new talent like Karin Waskiewicz at the Schroeder Romero & Shredder booth and Jari “WERC” Alvarez at the Cheech Marin-curated Thomas Paul booth.

Here are some highlights after CultureMap’s sweep of more than 80 galleries.

Image 6 : Houston-based artist Nathaniel Donnett has several captivating works on display with D.C. Morton Fine Art.

Fusing political and social commentary with personal narrative and psychology, Donnett reworks the symbols and signs of everyday life into layered, historical readings of the human condition.

“The red shape is taken from one of my favorite albums, De La Soul Is Dead,” the artist tells CultureMap. “I like to add elements from my own life on top of the social critique.”

MAYA FREELON ASANTE in Scientific American

Maya Freelon Asante, Spectra, spinning tissue ink monoprint

“Spectra,” by Maya Freelon Asante

“I use ‘bleeding’ tissue paper, water and archival pulp substrate to capture the chaotic movement of water and color blending on a spinning surface. By mounting my project on a potter’s wheel, I’m able to stand above my work, and while in motion use the wet tissue like a brush. As the wheel turns at different velocities and intervals, the ink spreads and mixes with other colors while simultaneously the intricate stains are absorbed into the pulp substrate permanently. The distribution of ink undergoing circular motion evolves in such a way that the gradient of the paint density changes with time and regions such as attractors, islands or basins appear. The colors then escape to infinity forming chaos artwork.”—Maya Freelon Asante
