Dairy Queens of the Great Plains
Exhibition Dates:
July 14, 2012 - August 11, 2012 Featured Artist:
Known for her spectacularly intricate and meticulous landscapes, artist Katie Maratta will be debuting her newest series of works featuring the classic Texas food destination, Dairy Queen. The format of her drawings proves to be unmistakable and imbues the images with a intimacy that juxtaposes the vastness of the drawn space:
"The format – 4 feet long and 1 inch high – presents elements of the Texas horizon in a scale that suggests that the viewer is seeing them from a passing car window: movement. And the actual movement of the viewer as he walks the length of the piece, as he “travels” the work adds yet another layer of experience. But the details are precise: stillness." - Katie Maratta
