ARTamental

And/Or presents collage and mixed-media work by Austin-based artist Chad Hopper, and as it turns out, this will be the gallery’s final exhibition! Owner and director Paul Slocum is moving to New York, and is shutting the doors to And/Or after 3 1/2 years of bringing interesting, innovative shows to the Dallas art audience. (via Glasstire.com)

Chad Hopper is an Austin-based collage and mixed-media artist; as well as traveling art peddler, member of Night Viking, and illustrator of the World Salad comic strip. Inspired by discarded objects, Hopper recycles the banal into a minimalist fusion of gag art and modern commentary. Thrift-store paintings, magazine clippings, coloring books, or vintage advertisements are all the raw materials of Hopper’s salvaged and mixed-media work

Dates: May 9th – June 20
