  • "Obsessive Worlds"

      
    Obsessive Worlds is based on the obsessive nature revealed in the work of 15 contemporary artists using various media.  Their chosen aesthetic is one characterized by acute repetition, excess and tedium.  The body of work attests to the development of a post-modern "obsessive" aesthetic as a reaction to contemporary society's immersion in a fast-paced, technologically crazed, and anxiety plagued environment.  You will be obsessed with this exhibit from the Art Museum of Southeast Texas!
