Martin Payton
Arpeggio for Louis, 2009
On Friday, July 19 at 8:30 pm and Saturday, July 20 at 5:30 pm on Art Rocks!, meet accomplished sculptor Martin Payton. Payton is inspired by New Orleans jazz musicians who maintain African heritage in their music. Drawing upon the ancient rhythms of forefathers, his lyrical steel sculptures are deeply rooted in the modernist tradition. Houston artist Cindi Rose creates mini-silhouettes with dexterity and speed, and she'll show how. Finally, a visit with Josie Pace, whose music is gaining lots of attention in Detroit, and is on the path to reaching a national audience. Plus, the history behind Andrew Jackson and his horse riding high over Jackson Square in New Orleans, this week’s Louisiana Treasure.
