In much of Casey Gray’s art, there’s a humorous tension between message and medium. Imagine if the 17th century Flemish painters had worked in spray paint. Conversely, picture Peter Paul Rubens on a skateboard. See? Funny. This was the crux of much of San Francisco-based Gray’s early work, some of which has been seen at Circuit 12 Contemporary in group shows. Lately, Gray has been focused on painting things a little closer to home. Of Land and Sea, Gray’s first solo show in Dallas, features the same spray paint layering technique, but with new subject matter. See his vibrant work at Circuit 12 Contemporary (1130 Dragon St. Ste 150) during the opening reception at 6 p.m. Saturday. More information at circuit12.com.
