Fine contemporary art gallery in Austin, Texas

Ian Shults: Solo Show

February 4 - 25, 2012

Opening Reception Saturday, February 4th 6-8pm

Collector's Preview First Thursday, February 2nd 6-8pm

Taunting the societal taboos of sexuality and inebriation with bold brushstrokes and sly editing skills, Ian Shults prompts viewers to bring their own repressed desires and dreams to the work. Each piece is broken up by planes and layers of paint, causing an asymmetry that serves to break up the painting's space as well as the layers of time captured. This show, filled with lust, loss and libations, conveys a sense of unabashed mischief not to be missed.

Established in 1980 and located in a 100 year old historic house in Austin’s art district, the Wally Workman Gallery specializes in emerging and collected talent. The gallery has two stories of exhibition space where one can view the 57 artists currently represented, including the contemporary talents of Will Klemm, Jan Heaton, Jill Carver, and Ian Shults as well as the figurative work of Jennifer Balkan and Fatima Ronquillo.

The Wally Workman Gallery is proud to be involved with Art Austin, promoting the visual arts in Austin. Discover the many galleries that are a part of the local art scene at www.artaustin.org.
