Channeling Other Worlds - Valton Tyler and Tribal Works from Shango at Valley House through February 20:

Valton Tyler - On Top of the World   1987   oil on canvas   30 x 48 inches

Valton Tyler is a self-taught Dallas original who's not nearly as famous as he should be. Or as he will be, though that may take him dying. Many buyers, sellers and long-time self-righteous borrowers of his work are impatiently waiting for the day when Valton goes platinum.
 

Valton Tyler   A Child Walking   1979   oil on canvas   27 x 23 inches
 

The gallery's founder Donald Vogel bought the paintings in these shows when they were new, and Valton was much less known, and few could see his genius, self-evident though it had to be. The decades make it more obvious. Vogel even bought paint for the struggling artist, but Valton sold it to friends to pay rent and food between his patron's purchases.
 

Valton Tyler   The Artist Apprentice   1980   oil on canvas  58 x 72 inches 
 

If Tyler's world is an anxious and mistrustful place, the art he paintsed it into was beyond strange, though his sense of humor lilts through those dark, pessimistic visions. Valton's work long ago achieved a stylistic cohesiveness that is instantly identifiable as his alone, never derivative or faddish.
 

Valton Tyler   Queen Bee-Male   1986   oil on canvas   16 x 20 inches
 

None of the work in either show are from this Century, because Valton may have learned his lesson and now deals only with commissions, side-stepping some of the greed. Can you imagine a family portrait? - J R Compton
 

The previous version of this review — that mostly featured the Shango tribal objects, since they stole the show with their intense colorations, three-dimensionality and natural materials — even though they were even older, has moved to Short Shows 2010 since it had nearly nothing to do with Dallas art or artists.

More 20th Century Valton Tyler paintings will be at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center in the listing below. — J R Compton (images courtesy Valley House, whose site shows most of the work in all their shows.)

Randall Garrett on Art in Dancing Ganesha

member Kathy Robinson-Hays is in issue 84 of New American Paintings, where each artist gets three images, bio and small photo. Recurring Dreams 1, 3 and 5 on her member page are included.

David Hickman on YouTube.

Centraltrak's founding director Charissa N. Terranova, PhD, has announced her resignation from that institution. Her replacement — if that is even possible — is Kate Sheerin, whom San Antonio's Witte Museum calls "an expert on early Texas Art," will be the new director of the University of Texas at Dallas art residency program housed in a building beneath elevated Central Expressway in Deepest Elm, near where the depot of the Houston and Texas Central Railroad tracks used to be.

As Terranova states in her public resignation letter PR, she brought artists from "France, Germany, The Netherlands, Argentina, Russia, Mexico, Israel, and Saudi Arabia to work in our avant-garde compound on Exposition Avenue." Her stated reason for stepping down is to "focus all of [her] energy on teaching at the university and [her] scholarly writing, in particular the completion of [her] manuscript Automotive Prosthetic: The Car, Technological Mediation, and the Conceptual Turn in Contemporary Art."

Terranova "will continue working at UTD in the capacity of full-time tenure-track assistant professor," and in the best news of all to Dallas artists, she "will also continue work as freelance art critic." Hooray for that! We need her unfettered art opinions, despite the complicated Marxist theories. — J R Compton
