McKay Otto: "In the Ethereal/Present"

Visit Five Points Museum of Contemporary Art to view a new exhibition featuring a large body of work by Texas artist McKay Otto. The exhibition, “In the Ethereal/Present” features work across disciplines, from subtle portraits with layered abstractions to sculptures assembled with found objects.

McKay Otto has been making art for over 30 years; raised in Fort Bend County near Houston, his work is rooted in Texas while gaining international recognition. This exhibition will feature a selection of portraits of notable citizens of South Texas who have made significant contributions to the cultural landscape of Victoria. These works feature his layered photo-luminescent abstraction, so that they change with the light. In this, they both enhance understanding of the subject and ask the viewer to consider the ethereal nature of existence. Also on display will be Otto’s sculptures, in which he repurposes materials as varied as recycled clothing to jigsaw puzzle pieces and imbues them with thoughtful commentary and often humor.

Five Points Museum of Contemporary Art is located at 1201 North Moody in Victoria, TX and is open to the public 12-5pm Wednesday through Sunday. Admission to the museum is always free.
