Description
Jason Eatherly - Outside In
During the WEST Austin Studio Tour!
Opening Reception with the Artist: Saturday, May 12th 7-9pm
Sponsored by Cathead Vodka, Caffe Del Fuego, & Tequila Sheela
ART on 5th is excited to announce an exhibition of new work by Austin artist Jason Eatherly. Widely recognized in the local street art scene for his image of a queen wearing a gas mask, Eatherly is expanding his work to the fine art world.
Eatherly is heavily influenced by urban decay, abandoned structures, and weathered environments where nature is reasserting its dominance. This solo exhibition will feature never-before-seen paintings, sculptures, and art installations in which found objects from these lost spaces are allowed to infringe upon and disrupt the gallery space. By transforming salvaged materials and elevating them into works of art, the viewer is challenged to see past surface erosion to the beauty underneath.
CONVERSATION WITH THE ARTIST:
Friday, May 11th from 6-8pm Join us the evening before the show, when the artist will be giving a breif talk about his work & artistic process at SprATX, 2400 E Cesar Chavez Street, #316B Austin, Texas 78702
Jason Eatherly’s Outside In will be on display at ART on 5th through Sunday, June 10th
