One hot summer Thursday evening found me at the foyer of Rising Gallery admiring the custom mural on the wall. It is smashed with red paint, bracing itself for the compelling woman painted within. The painting grips you, holds you there for a moment and just when you think you are released, she imposes her will onto you as you walk through the works of Chris Panatier, Love Them Now, Always. He captures various moments in a person’s life on wood panel with oil paint. I inspect the series to try to understand his process, and realize that I need to meet this artist and ask him all the questions that came up during my tour of his series at Rising.

Kasten’s paintings are an exploration of the social snapshot. She uses photos found on the Internet to explore the duality of the image. A posed social snapshot not only reflects the reality of the subjects but the illusion of their desired identity. Kasten takes these contrasting ideas of reality and illusion and develops them into the painted portrait. Kasten is a painter with a background in design, music and photography.

If you take the escalator of the Magnolia Theatre right now, you find yourself on the second floor captivated by Cathey Miller’s series, Trigger Happy. They are like candy on the walls with their pleasing color palettes and saucy actresses holding guns. Each painting has a message, or rather a command, like ‘Shut It’,'Come Here’, and ‘Bring It’.

Last November I told you about my experience learning how to print drypoint with instructor Peter Ligon at Southern Methodist University (You Can’t Make Art without Getting Your Hands Dirty). This time I will impart my experience learning acid etching and aquatint. Etching and aquatint were once again taught by Peter Ligon at SMU. The only difference was the day of the week and a few of the regular students. I don’t think two sessions makes me a regular yet, but who knows.

In her current series Trigger Happy at the Magnolia Gallery, Cathey Miller has turned her illustrator’s eye towards vintage Hollywood starlets dressed as cowgirls wielding guns. Using a limited palette of sepia tones, Miller has painted the cowgirls realistically. Surrounding each actress cowgirl is a flat field of bright color, a graphically striking complement to the rendered figures. The words painted above each subject add a modern twist to the paintings…commands like “Shut It,” “Come Here,” or “Step Off” adds a kitschy sexy twist to the nostalgic cowgirls, and invites the question, what will happen if I disobey Jane Russell?
