Dallas, TX | MeetAT at Cris Worley Fine Arts
December 11 | 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm
You’re invited to our next MeetAT networking event on December 11 in Dallas, Texas, graciously hosted by Cris Worley, Owner and Director of Cris Worley Fine Arts. Join us for an evening of light refreshments and engaging conversations with fellow ArtTable members and prospective members.
Cris Worley Fine Arts is a contemporary art gallery established in 2010 in Dallas, TX. Cris Worley Fine Arts is dedicated to promoting innovative work by contemporary artists at various stages of their careers. The gallery’s dynamic approach to fostering artistic growth includes the presentation of compelling exhibitions, and collaborations with public institutions, professional art organizations, and collectors, both locally and internationally.
For over two decades, Cris Worley has contributed to national art dialogues as a gallery director participating in art fairs, as a guest juror for numerous exhibitions, and as an esteemed art advisor. As a charter member of the Contemporary Art Dealers of Dallas, Cris Worley has played a vital role in the vigorous growth of the Dallas arts community, encouraging the evolution of contemporary art collections.
For this event, the gallery will feature present their eighth solo exhibition of oil paintings by Paul Manes. The exhibition entitled, Into the Woods, opens Saturday, November 16, and will be on view through December 28. Whether it be the differing color palettes of the landscape images or the wall of rain or the bowls falling upon one another, Manes’ new works seem to be a random smattering of subjects across his oeuvre. Yet, in this new show, the artist invites us to see how his subject matter has been affected through his own experiences.
Manes’ new work reflects his own physical move from New York City to Colorado a decade ago. Manes traded the concrete jungle for a sky of stars, and that location shift has changed his subject matter. In this new show, Manes has moved from the sky to the landscape, where he interacts with different elements and environments that he sees every day. Many of the works depicted reflect images of meadows and plants, and Manes’ large canvases and use of perspective allow for us all to step into this world he lives in daily. Every new painting acts as a window into another world – one where we get to see landscapes through the lens of the artist. Suddenly, we are alongside Manes on his motorcycle ride from home to the studio through the Colorado mountains.
