Tommy Fitzpatrick: OPEN SOURCE and Kim Cadmus Owens: DRAWINGS

Architecture has long been a primary source of inspiration for Tommy Fitzpatrick. He sees architecture as a record of past ideas, and his works present both their ruins and their utopian potential. Until 2020, he worked from models—either handmade sculptural forms or forms constructed digitally—to make his paintings. This contradiction between real and illusion is the terrain he has been exploring for decades. Fitzpatrick received a B.A. in Fine Art from the University of Texas in Austin (1991), followed by an M.F.A. from Yale University School of Art (1993). He has shown in numerous exhibitions in cities such as Houston, Madrid, New York, London, Dallas, Berlin, and Seoul. His paintings are in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the Art Museum of South Texas in Corpus Christi, and the Menil Collection in Houston. He resides in New Braunfels and is currently Professor of Painting at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas.

Kim Cadmus Owens grew up in Texas, studied fine art on both coasts and Japan, and returned to Dallas in 2006. Upon her arrival, she faced a city evolved. Recollecting Dallas architecture and other environs, her works convey a moment of retrospect and depict vernacular spots hovering between past and present. Owens received an MFA from Towson University near Baltimore, MD, and a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in San Francisco, CA. The artist’s work has been exhibited at venues such as the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Heritage Museums and Gardens on Cape Cod, Corcoran Gallery in Washington DC, Islip Art Museum in New York, The Gallery at The University of Texas in Arlington, as well as numerous galleries.

Holly Johnson Gallery is located at 1845 East Levee Street #100 in Dallas, Texas. Gallery hours are 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, and by appointment. The gallery is a founding member of CADD – Contemporary Art Dealers of Dallas.
