Texas goes to France, with artists Diana Moya and DK Richardson. Exhibit dates, April 4 to 30. Reception, April 7, 7 to 9 pm at the TVAA Downtown Gallery.
Invited by the oldest Pastel Society in the world, founded in 1885 by masters like Edgar Degas and Mary Cassatt among other talents, a delegation of Master pastelistes from Texas, led by Diana Moya, traveled to Europe last summer to exhibit their artwork representing the USA in two of the most beautiful international exhibitions dedicated to the art of pastel in the cities of Feytiat and Saint Florent le-Vieil.
Diana Moya is currently the Ambassador in America for the Societe des Pastellistes de France. D.K. Richardson stated, ”Words donʼt quite convey the awe of seeing your paintings hanging among the works of other master pastelists from Europe.”
Paris, Texas? or Paris, France? Both artists start by interpreting the similarities of what they know using a familiar icon, as they document their exciting travels in France with paintings, photographs and videos.
The Texas goes to France touring exhibit was displayed in the Frisco Art Gallery of the Discovery Center November, 2010 to January 2011 and will continue on to the Arlington Museum of Art in the month of May.
Diana Moya and D.K. Richardson will conduct sessions of 4-Day workshops at the Downtown Gallery in April that will include guided visits to the Dallas Museum of Art. They will share not only technique but also professional experiences in traveling exhibits, competitions, exhibitions abroad, and the Dallas art scene.
