With few exceptions, the 26 paintings and sculptures by David Bates at the Austin Museum of Art represent a fine and familiar overview of the artist’s oeuvre.
Notice the poor little man splashing around near the bottom of Luis Cruz Azaceta’s painting “Swimming to Havana.” Even if he were to somehow escape the high cement walls of the angular pool of water that contains him, he’d still be trapped in the maze of jagged abstract shapes that twine around the edges of the canvas. There’s no way out. Not physically. Not psychologically.
It might seem like just another grim artistic stroll down Katrina memory lane. But, trust me; it’s not nearly that simple.
