Join our friends at JM Gallery Tomorrow for an artist talk with Kyle Hobratschk

This Wednesday, December 9 at 6:30 p.m., JM Gallery, located right here in One Arts Plaza, will be hosting an artist talk with Kyle Hobratschk, a young artist who hails from Saudi Arabia but earned his BFA from SMU in 2011. The exhibition he shares with fellow artist, Shelly Scott, called Dimensions has already received accolades from PaperCity Magazine editor, Patricia Mora  

Kyle will be discussing his unique creative process which begins with the construction of small, imaginary architectural models inspired by his affinity for historical monuments, roof tops, silos and even headstones. Next, each structure is rendered using aquatint, a print process that produces deep, velvety tones and shadows. Each model is represented in several different pieces using a variety of angles and perspectives. When Kyle is not working at his studio in Bishop Arts, he is often in Corsicana where he offers students 6-week fellowship opportunities where they can reside and hone their craft at his newly renovated 100West Corsicana studio.

You don’t want to miss Kyle’s unique series! Join us tomorrow evening for a glass of wine, an intimate gathering with the artist and to learn more about his fascinating process. And remember, all pieces on display at JM Gallery are available for purchase. This is the perfect time to give a gorgeous piece to the art aficionados in your life, or treat yourself and your home to a beautiful oil painting or etching just in time for the holidays.

Booker T. Washington High School Students Perform at One Arts Plaza

One Arts Plaza guests, tenants, residents and clients were stunned by the spectacular performances, and each number was met with applause.

Be sure to mark your calendars for the remaining two Booker T. Washington high school student performances! The BTWHS Jazz Comb will have your ear Friday, December 4 from 12-1p.m. in the One Arts Plaza lobby. Be sure to catch the BTWHS Choir on Thursday, December 17 from 12-1 p.m.

JM Gallery's current and phenomenal installation

JM Gallery was abuzz on the evening of November 7, as art collectors and enthusiasts filtered in and out of the gallery for a chance to meet artists Kyle Hobratschk and Shelley Scott. The opening reception was met with much enthusiasm, and art aficionados were intrigued by the pieces enjoyed mingling with the artists and learning about their processes and inspiration.

Viewers were especially interested in Shelley’s sculptures of household tools such as clamps, glue, and abstract shapes. Her work, almost primitive, provides unexpected perspectives towards the preconceived notions of dimension.

Similarly, Kyle’s pieces were praised for their representation of structural spaces. His artistic process is particularly interesting.  After building small architectural structures, he renders them using a traditional printing process producing prints and painting of deep, velvety shadows and abstract shapes.

If you missed a chance to attend the artist reception, Kyle Hobratschk and Shelley Scott’s exhibition will be on display at JM Gallery now through December 19. The gallery is open Tuesday through Thursday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.

YOU'RE INVITED: Join JM for an artist reception

What are your Saturday plans? Join us at JM Gallery for a very special artist reception for Kyle Hobratschk and Shelley Scott. The show, which will be on display from November 7 0 December 19, features pieces that challenge the viewers’ perceptions of space. Kyle’s prints and oil paintings reflect architectural design with their references to warehouses, cornerstones, barns and ancient temples. Though these images are not actual buildings, they exude visually powerful structures.

Sculpture Shelley Scott’s pieces integrate our perception of two and three-dimensional space. Two-dimensional images seem to be solid structures, while three-dimensional objects appear to be flat drawings. The contrast in her pieces is truly captivating and intriguing.

Don’t miss out on a chance to be the first to see Kyle and Shelley’s work! Join us for snacks and beverages as well as good conversation. You’ll be able to meet and greet the artists and gain insight into their creative processes. The reception will take place at JM Gallery, located at One Arts Plaza, on Saturday from 5 – 8 P.M.

An evening with The Mountaintop and Jorge's Tex Mex

Has your curious nature ever led you to question the thoughts and emotions of Dr. Luther King Jr. the night of his brutal assignation? Dallas Theater Center’s The Mountaintop tells the story of this civil rights leader’s last hours on earth. The thought provoking Broadway hit and 2010 winner of Britain’s Olivier Award for Best New Play portrays Dr. King in a very raw manner; without the mythology associated with his modern memory. The setting takes place in Memphis’ Lorraine motel, and audience members will experience an intimate production, sitting just a few feet from the talent on stage.

The Mountaintop provides insight and context into the times of one of America’s most infamous assignations. It has been described as “…unexpected, provocative, and, at times, dangerous…” (Nancy Churnin The Dallas Morning News). Purchase your tickets (available now through Nov. 15) to experience a remarkable performance starring Hassan El-Amin as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 

Swing by Jorge’s Tex Mex café and make a night of it with tasty hand-crafted margaritas and sizzling fajitas. Skip the Uber! Jorge’s is located right here in One Arts Plaza and offers a variety of house specials, classic Tex-Mex faves and an assortment of tacos and cocktails. You can view their tasty menu here.
