CURRENT EXHIBITIONS

"Terra and Bloom" brings together the unique works of oil painters Kerri Menchaca and Alonsa Guevara, both of whom explore the deep connection between humanity and the natural world through their art. Menchaca, a Texas native, draws inspiration from the rugged landscapes of rural Texas, capturing the fleeting beauty of its vast terrain. Her paintings, grounded in realism, evoke the serene essence of the state's untouched natural beauty. Guevara’s vibrant fruit still lifes, inspired by her childhood in the Ecuadorian rainforest, blend fantasy and reality, creating a vivid world where nature’s beauty and humanity’s emotional ties are intertwined. Together, their works evoke a powerful, shared reverence for nature’s beauty and fragility.

PAST EXHIBITION

Fort Works Art proudly presented Transportation Transformation, a solo exhibition by Greg Bahr, in the upstairs gallery during FWADA Spring Gallery Night. In this compelling body of work, Bahr transformed the repetitive rhythms of his daily driving routines into mesmerizing abstract compositions. Using color, pattern, and repetition, he reimagined mundane commutes as visual meditations on movement and time. What began as an ordinary aspect of life became a striking exploration of how routine shapes our perception—and how art can elevate even the most familiar experiences.

Drawing on over 15 years of experience as a preparator at The Amon Carter Museum, Bahr brought precision and depth to his artistic practice. Transportation Transformation invited viewers to slow down and discover unexpected beauty in the everyday. Through his unique perspective, Bahr encouraged reflection on the quiet power of routine and the artistic potential hidden within the seemingly insignificant. The exhibition opened on March 29, 2025, in conjunction with Spring Gallery Night.
