GALLERY
VARIOUS SMALL FIRES
December 9th 2006—January 13th 2007
Artist Reception :
Saturday December Ninth
Six-Nine pm
Road Agent announces the opening of Various Small Fires on Saturday, December 9, with an opening reception from 6-9 p.m. The exhibition features paintings and works on paper by artists Elliott Johnson, Eric Trosko, M, Todd Ramsell, Takako Tanabe and George Quartz. Most of the artists currently work in the Dallas/Fort Worth/Denton area or in Brooklyn.
By making small alterations and unexpected pairings within the realm of the ordinary, these artists suggest an entry point into the fantastic; sometimes nostalgic, often surreal, usually very funny, at times pathetic. Each piece is a well-crafted invitation to warm yourself by their various small fires; a phrase borrowed from Ed Ruscha, the master of transforming the obvious or ordinary into the monumental.
