ÁRPÁD FORGÓ “LOOKING ROUND A DIFFERENT CORNER” Artist ÁRPÁD FORGÓ will exhibit his artwork titled “Looking Round a Different Corner” this November at the Anya Tish Gallery. All of his pieces displayed give off what the artist calls “illusory drift” which goes well with the Avant Garde-themed movement. Forgó constructs subtly kinetic paintings and shaped canvases that embody the concepts of cardinality, unity, division and plasticity. www.anyatishgallery.com 3. “FINDING OUR WAY,” made visible with a camera #findingourwayhouston Currently on view, “Finding Our Way” is a photographic installation designed by MARY MARGARET HANSEN and PATSY CRAVENS, using images from a trove of nude photographs the two photographers took of one another in the early 1980s.
