"Randy Twaddle"

Longtime Houston artist Randy Twaddle has been known to find inspiration as he drives down city streets at dawn and dusk, scanning the tree tops. Twaddle especially likes the way power lines and transformers look silhouetted against the sky, and he’s been making artwork out of that imagery for more than 20 years. Twaddle finds a kind of unintentional beauty in the wire lines, almost like an alien musical notation written overhead.

His love for electrical lines continues, but now he’s using coffee instead of charcoals to create background shadows of the tangled wires and electrical equipment. He pours and steers the liquid over the paper to make what look like twisting branch-like shapes resembling trees. In addition to the coffee-and-ink drawings, Twaddle’s self-titled show (his first solo exhibit at Moody Gallery since 2006) will also include wall coverings, a rug and textiles bearing the transformer imagery. 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays. Through July 2. Moody Gallery, 2815 Colquitt. For information, call 713-526-9911 or visit www.moodygallery.com. Free.
Tuesdays-Saturdays. Starts: June 10. Continues through July 2, 2011
