Heyd Fontenot wants to know why more people aren’t outraged by charcuterie boards? Clearly, the old testament’s book of Exodus says not to eat cheese and meat together. (You might want to take note, Pinterest!) So, why are some bits of Biblical Law held so tightly while God’s other mandates are regularly transgressed without offense?
With the artist’s fourth solo exhibition at Conduit Gallery, Fontenot is once again holding a mirror up to the status quo’s inconsistent morality. With a mixture of large-scale painting, portraits, signage and sculptural installation the artist leaves his quarantine pod in San Antonio to enliven Dallas with his latest exhibition: “Color! Pattern! Propaganda!”
