2025 Spring Exhibitions: A Celebration of Art and Heritage
On January 25, the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts will debut two remarkable exhibitions celebrating art, history, and culture.
The Main Gallery will feature "The Art of Ezra Tucker," a touring exhibition organized by David J. Wagner, L.L.C. Ezra Tucker, a celebrated wildlife artist, is known for his stunning portrayals of North American wildlife and for shedding light on the often-overlooked Black experience in the American West.
This exhibition showcases 40 works created between 1985 and 2023, including lifelike depictions of mammals, birds, and historical narratives. Tucker’s signature style blends dynamic compositions, vibrant earth tones, and a masterful use of light, creating a sense of presence and movement in his subjects.
In the Cole Gallery, visitors can explore "HEARD" by Houston native Tramaine Townsend. Townsend’s multimedia work celebrates the legacy of Black cowboys, offering a minimalist and thoughtfully designed approach that resonates with clarity. A versatile visual artist, Townsend’s career spans photography, filmmaking, and directing, making his work a compelling exploration of history and art.
"The Art of Ezra Tucker" will run through March 22, 2025, while "HEARD" continues through May 10, 2025. Museum admission is free, and visiting hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
