SEAD Gallery and Bookshop is excited to continue its partnership with Satori Marketing in Houston as they introduce new artwork by artists Dawn Winter and David Sites into their gallery. This collaboration’s purpose is to create an unassuming art gallery in Satori’s warehouse office by featuring artists who have proven to be favorites in the Bryan College Station area. Satori’s gallery is intended to draw Houstonians into the artistic and growing community of East Downtown.
Since October of 2017, SEAD has placed the work of B/CS based artists Hailey Herrera, Scott McDermott, and Sarah Henderson on the walls of Satori. With this wave of new artwork, local favorite David Sites and Austin-based artist Dawn Winter will make their debut at Satori. David Sites will be displaying three of his paintings: “Across the Meadow,” “Frost Line,” and “Through the Grove.” His landscapes are unique particularly in their unexpected use of colors. His process begins with several colorful gestured brush strokes from a chosen palette of five colors, followed by quick and random splashes of color that allow the paints to mix and flow together. This gives his work an uncontrolled and abstract quality, which is where Sites allows his intuition and imagination to take over and direct where the painting goes. He also wants viewers to use their imaginations in their perceptions of his art.
Dawn Winter’s contemporary abstract paintings are another new addition to Satori’s walls. Her work reflects her love of color, layers, and texture, and she achieves her balanced sense of color, motion, and patterns by using acrylics, palette knives, and her intuition. She describes her paintings as “explor[ing] the interactions between bold and muted colors, other times creating a sense of depth through a variation of monochromatic color selections.”
