Fort Works Art will present “The Marks We Make,” an international juried exhibition exploring the enduring power and relevance of the human figure in contemporary art.
Chosen from over 400 open call submissions, the 24 artists selected from across the country have works that reexamine what it means to represent the human form today. The exhibition runs concurrently with Jenny Saville’s “The Anatomy of Painting” at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the only U.S. stop for this exhibition, creating a city-wide dialogue centered on contemporary figurative art and the human form.
Juried by Sara-Jayne Parsons, Director and Curator of The Art Galleries at Texas Christian University, the exhibition reflects her international curatorial focus on contemporary figuration, representation, and inclusive narratives.
Parsons will be in attendance for the Opening Reception to celebrate the selected artists. Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through January 17.
