Each week, Fine Lookin' Piece offers an image of a work of art visually compelling enough on its own to inspire our readers to hit up the gallery for a closer look -- even with no prior knowledge of the artist or exhibition.

A recognized Texas artist, Ted Kincaid has his followers already. But if you're not one of them, this "Iceberg 616" image -- at once chilling and alluring -- could convert you. We don't want to give a single thing away about Every Doubt That Holds You Here, the Kincaid exhibition at Marty Walker Gallery opening this Saturday (reception from 6 to 8 p.m. so mark your calendars) and running through June 11, but trust us that while it is photography-based, things are not always what they seem.

See for yourself at Marty Walker Gallery, 2135 Farrington St. Call 214-749-0066 or visit martywalkergallery.com.
