The hundred and twenty mini-prints in Brian Dulaney: Deck of Many Things are cards. Conceptually they offshoot from the tradition of the totemic card, the tarot, and the Trading Card Game (Pokemon and MTG).

Each image is an inscrutable icon, personal or mythological in origin. Freelance heraldry, they are open to many meanings. They are happy pursuits of mutable concepts we share but can barely describe.

The printing is painterly. Gestural moves and organic patterns are brushed, rubbed, or collaged directly onto the printing screens. Dulaney works in a minimal garage studio without a computer. Two young sons assist.

Deck of Many Things is Dulaney’s first solo show at Northern-Southern. He previously appeared at the gallery’s booth at the inaugural Untitled Art Houston, 2025.

TWISTS recounts ten years of a motif in the paintings of Michelle Marchesseault: the interlocking S-twist, each about two and half inches tall, painted in every way.

Marchesseault paints each twist with a single exhale. The brushstrokes are as breaths. They fit, like the fibers of a plant, into fields of color, texture, and emotion.

Paintings from 2016, 2020, 2021, 2023, 2026.

The mini-retrospective is a prelude to Marchesssault’s upcoming show of new work, October 2026.
