Written by Hesse Caplinger, this article explores and explains the work displayed in the new Houston exhibit called "In Plain Sight" which contains paintings from forty local artists. The intent of the exhibition is to combat the idea that "'painting is dead'" and instead display its liveliness. Most of the paintings follow the style of contemporary art, portraying ideas through the use of shapes, colors, rhythm and pattern. Although my initial attraction to the article was due to the vibrant images, after further reading I had a difficult time connecting with the abstract paintings. If anything, reading through this article was helpful in creating my appreciation of contemporary art - but more so, I know that abstract painting is not the art form that best speaks to me.
