Artist Profile

This exhibition is a concoction of artworks conceived as the pandemic carnival of madness careened along during what, at times, seemed like the world’s last days. A ticket dispenser demarks the entrance into this psychic landscape – a circus of ethical relativism, societal impediments, and gendered power symbols. Colorful lighters provide a joyous spark for the burning clouds that lend a comic sense of doom over the scene. There is a perplexing ransom note. A raucous flock of vaginal speculums is cackling on a fence, and a dejected X-chromosome sits slumped on the floor. A standard warns us that humanity has strayed far off course. Unsympathetic images of human brains confront, alienate and fascinate. These objects and images don’t sit well together, and yet, they do, as poignant, strident, and reckless meditations.

G Spot Contemporary Art Space

G Spot Contemporary features local, regional and national artists who are unafraid to challenge convention. G Spot is a space with a decidedly grassroots approach to cultural exchange.

Gallery owner and artist Wayne Gilbert has owned and operated more than five art galleries in Houston, over four decades. Wayne’s seasoned approach to creative culture makes Wayne Gilbert’s Spot a worthwhile stop. The gallery’s rapidly changing exhibitions showcase eclectic and often provocative work by emerging and established artists from all parts of the globe.

Located in the Heart of Houston’s Historic Heights District, G Spot Contemporary Art Space is a comfortable place to engage, experience and connect with friends. We celebrate a new artist and reveal unseen work each month with an opening reception on the first Saturday of each month. All are welcome children and pets.
