On January 31 from 5-8pm, Five Points Museum of Contemporary Art will host the opening of a new exhibition of paintings by Rock Romano.
Romano’s paintings are joyful fusions between abstract and representational approaches where he invites the viewer to create new connections in his work. Primarily landscapes, Romano also includes portraiture and other subject matter, telling stories with color, structure, and archetypal patterns illustrating his own visual reflections while prompting visitors to come along for the ride. Rock Romano was born in Houston’s Fifth Ward and was a visual artist before moving into music. As a musician he has performed with and produced artists from Houston and around the world. While a full-time musician, he has never stopped painting. This exhibition captures a slice of that visual world that Romano is creating along with his music.
The opening reception, Saturday, January 31, will feature live entertainment by Steve Gilbert and light refreshments from 5-8PM.
