Texas State Fair: Luminous Geometry at Sundown

$225

Texas State Fair: Luminous Geometry at Sundown measures 18 by 24 inches and is rendered in gouache, continuing the exploration of place within the ongoing Texas Landscapes Series. The composition offers an abstract aerial perspective of the Texas State Fair set against an urban skyline at dusk. The sky is painted in saturated oranges and pinks, sharply contrasting with the deeper, cooler tones below. Distinct geometric shapes represent key fair attractions—a Ferris wheel, a towering ride, and a looping circular structure—each executed in vivid reds, blues, and yellows that radiate energy within the scene. The surrounding foliage and pathways are suggested through intersecting lines in dark green and blue, adding structure without literal detail. Beyond the fair, the cityscape appears as dark, blocky silhouettes that frame the glow of the sunset. The painting’s dynamic balance of bold color and expressive brushwork draws from Impressionism, Surrealism, and Fauvism, capturing not a moment frozen in time but the vibrant atmosphere and cultural resonance of the Texas State Fair as night falls. This work also engages with contemporary shifts in the fair’s social experience, reflecting on changes in access and the cost of participation within this longtime cultural event.
