The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston is pleased to present three simultaneous solo exhibitions by Houston-based artists Amy Blakemore, Thedra Cullar-Ledford, and Susie Rosmarin. The presentations are part of the museum's ongoing series Right Here, Right Now, which celebrates our region's vibrant creative community. Its second iteration showcases the work of three Houston-based artists with decades-long practices here. CAMH's Director Bill Arning, Senior Curator Valerie Cassel Oliver, and Curator Dean Daderko respectively selected Cullar-Ledford, Rosmarin, and Blakemore.

Blakemore's, Cullar-Ledford's, and Rosmarin's works are visually and conceptually diverse. These artists create moodily poetic photographs, wry and confrontational figurative paintings, and vivid, optically luscious abstractions.

About the Exhibition

ABOUT RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW
In 2014, CAMH launched the series Right Here, Right Now with solo presentations of work by artists Debra Barrera, Nathaniel Donnett, and Carrie Marie Schneider. The series is meant to highlight artistic developments taking shape in studios across the city, asserting that Houston, with its manageable cost of living and affordable studio space, allows innovators to maintain practices at a highly professional level. The exhibitions bring work by some of Houston's most talented art makers to both area audiences for whom their work may be familiar, as well as act as an introduction to wider audiences outside the region.
