2. UNIX GALLERY | 4411 Montrose Blvd. Suite C | 713.874.1770
ONCE UPON A TIME A solo exhibition of paintings from American artist Ingrid Dee Magidson,
highlights Magidson’s distinct layered approach to painting as well as new abstract
works. Magidson reveals the energy within her work: first through her well-known mixed
media paintings on multiple transparent layers; then through her newest works of constructed layers of images, objects, fabrics and resin; and here, for the first time, exhibiting
her brand new abstract canvases. In her three-dimensional, enigmatic portraits of kings,
queens, nobility and courtiers from centuries past, Magidson brings back to life her subjects and re-imagines these individuals, immortalizing them in time. Their focus may be
royalty from the past, surrounded by the trappings of wealth and privilege, but the story
is a reflection of the viewer, the human collective and our inherent nobility of spirit.

3. CINDY LISICA GALLERY | 4411 Montrose Blvd. Suite F | 713.807.7760
With BPLASTICS Travis K. Schwab focuses on ideas of past, present and future technology
and continues to examine our image-based and digital society through stunning photorealist oil paintings. The results are mysterious and provocative, as he addresses questions of identity and attitudes toward the future of humanity with insight, compassion,
curiosity and even dark humor. The unknown faces and figures he depicts become
strangely familiar, and, when recognizable or famous, they can be elusive and spectral.

4. THE JUNG CENTER | 5200 Montrose Blvd. | 713.524.8253
In WOMAN AND HER SYMBOLS, Becky Soria ponders whether the female taps into the same or
a potentially different collective unconscious than her male counterpart. She also raises
the question of whether the archetypal symbols of the collective unconscious undergo
mutation or variation. Soria presents the evolutionary possibility of a collective unconscious struggling to evolve itself in a deconstructive technological epoch.
