Artist Leigh Anne Lester’s work wouldn’t look out of place on a storyboard for a Peter Jackson epic. By combining elements of biological reality with fantasy, she creates “hybrid plants” that serve as a commentary on “genetic modification and the biological impact it has had on our environment.” Lester, a resident of San Antonio, joins forces with Arlington’s Michelle Murillo–an accomplished artist in her own right–for Palimpsest, opening Saturday at the McKinney Avenue Contemporary, 3120 McKinney Ave. An opening reception takes place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Saturday; the exhibit hangs 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays through June 26. Two other exhibitions, Kana Harada’s The Way Home and Megan Adams’ Interiorscapes, run concurrently. Call 214-953-1212 or visit the-mac.org.
Wednesdays-Saturdays, 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Starts: May 26. Continues through June 26, 2010
