    G Gallery in the Heights presents the exhibition George Smith:  LABYRINTH 2.  On view February 7 through February 25.

    George Smith is a major sculptor living in Houston. He is celebrated nationally as a significant member of his generation of artists, but his work is virtually unknown in Houston. He also has had numerous exhibitions, grants and public commissions throughout the United States, including the Guggenheim Fellowship and National Endowment for the Arts. His work melds his very incisive knowledge of Western Art with traditional African sculpture, infusing a new vision and vitality to American Art. It is shameful that such an important American artist living in Houston has been rarely shown in own city.

    He studied at the San Francisco Art Institute and Hunter College in New York City. He has exhibited widely throughout the United States. His recent exhibibitons on New York have been received with great acclaim. He is currently a professor of sculpture at Rice University.
