Joe Mancuso: Get Back / 1985 - Present

November 13 - February 12,2022

From Barbara Davis Gallery: "Barbara Davis Gallery is pleased to announce Get Back / 1985 - Present, a retrospective and solo-exhibition by Houston-based artist Joe Mancuso, opening Saturday, November 13, 2021 with an artist reception from 1:00pm - 5:00pm. This exhibition is on view beginning November 13 through January 8, 2022. Houston-based artist Joe Mancuso present paintings, sculpture, and a site-specific installation in Get Back. In this exhibition, Mancuso is highlighting concepts and themes throughout his practice. His work exemplifies a contemporary perspective on still-life subject matters and abstraction, which places them in a very unique art historical context. Mancuso approaches these subject matters using non-traditional materials such as newsprint, concrete, poured latex paint, and graphite. The content provides a common thread between the paintings, yet each illustrates a distinct methodology as the forms evolve from one work to the next. Among all the works that are part of this retrospective, Mancuso revisits his Chandelier installation which is a large-scale site-specific suspended sculpture comprised of dried roses coated with concrete that delicately hangs from a cascading wire structure like a dimensional drawing."
