Painter Trudy Askew investigated facades for “Pretense.” Her latest works play with images of faces and masks. In Adornment, a portion of a person’s face has been squared off and painted black and white. It appears ready for a redesign. In Harlequin, a clown wearing the traditional costume of diamond-shaped patches and ruffled collar holds the mask of a plain-faced man. It’s up to the viewer to decide which is the true face, the one on his head or the one in his hands. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. Through February 5. Archway Gallery, 2305 Dunlavy. For information, call 713-522-2409 or visit www.archwaygallery.com. Free.
Mondays-Saturdays. Starts: Jan. 3. Continues through Feb. 4, 2009
