Pictures at an Exhibition presents images of one notable show every weekday.
Today’s show: “Martin Durazo: Axioms and Ecstasies,” is currently on view at Barbara Davis Gallery in Houston until Saturday, April 25. The show features new paintings by Durazo that explore the relationship between formal aesthetics and spirituality, as large swaths of electric-colored paint fill the canvas.
