Annabel Daou
The Last Painting Show
Annabel Daou's paintings are works of sublime beauty. Using oil paint, gesso, graphite and ink the artist develops surfaces which are transparent veils through which one sees faint images and words - slippery forms which seem to dissolve before the viewer's eyes. Her paintings are at once opaque and permeable; which speak of rare atmospheres existing in the mind.
Annabel Daou has exhibited recently at The Elizabeth Foundation in New York, NY; Purdy Hicks Gallery, London, England; Wilfredo Lam Center, Havana, Cuba and Entwistle Gallery, London, England. She currently lives and works in New York City.








Michael Tole
I Think I Prayed for You to Come, but wasn't Prepared for the Reality

Surveying a landscape largely unthought of as aesthetic fodder for the painter's eye I Think I Prayed for You to Come, but wasn't Prepared for the Reality is the newest body of work by Dallas artist Michael Tole. His flawlessly rendered paintings offer us glimpses into the unintentional relationships that exist between intentionally placed objects: bauble-lined shelves and displays, sidelong glances of ceramic momentos and mass produced souvenirs filed in stasis.




PROJECT ROOM

Michael Velliquette
The Dark Matters and the Lingering Lightness

The Conduit Gallery Project Room will feature The Dark Matters and the Lingering Lightness an installation by San Antonio artist Michael Velliquette.
This will be Mr. Velliquette's first exhibition since his Art Pace residency in the spring of 2004 and his first exhibition in Dallas. The new mix-media installation continues his ongoing interest with cosmology and the human condition employing a specific vernacular of signs and symbols created from the artist's own experience and sense of person.
Co-Founder of the living artist space, The Bower, Michael Velliquette moved to San Antonio after earning his M.F.A. from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He has since exhibited extensively including shows at Deitch Projects, New York, NY; The McNay Art Museum, San Antonio, TX and the Ontario College of Art and Design, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
