 "for the Beautiful is nothing but the onset of the Terrible..." 

Selected works by Jason Ransom.

Cueto James Art Gallery is proud to announce our next show, exhibiting the works of the very talented Houston artist Jason Ransom. His style and execution are nothing short of breathtaking - he is a truly individual and emotive painter. Ransom has the ability to use oil paint as though the colors themselves were raw emotions, and the unique brushstrokes speak more volumes than words could ever hope to. He somehow manages to create pieces that are devastating, beautiful, bleak, and terrifying - usually simultaneously, and to an astounding effect. You will be incredibly moved by what you see. It's just that simple. 

We hope you'll join us for the opening of "for the Beautiful is nothing but the onset of the Terrible..." Selected Works by Jason Ransom at Cueto James Art Gallery. Fine wine will be served at the event. Further details are listed below.

New Work: A Moment of Comfort by Jason Ransom.

Artist Jason Ransom: 2011 Finalist for the prestigious Hunting Art Prize.

Cueto James Art Gallery's next artist, the incomparable Jason Ransom, was chosen as a finalist for the Hunting Art Prize, an incredibly prestigious award for artists (you can read more about it below or follow the link). The gallery is proud to have an artist of this caliber gracing the walls of our gallery! His show opens July 2nd, so stay tuned for more info about that. 

The Hunting Art Prize, which is sponsored by the international oil services company Hunting PLC, is a prestigious annual competition open to established artists, talented newcomers, and promising amateurs. Its $50,000 award is historically the most generous annual award in North America for painting and drawing and has helped to build the reputations, raise the profiles, and support the careers of distinguished artists.

The Hunting Art Prize was established in 1981, and emerged as one of the United Kingdom’s leading art competitions before relocating to Houston in 2006. Today, the commitment upon which it was originally built remains as strong as ever: To provide artists the recognition they have earned, the sponsorship they deserve, and the opportunity to have their work viewed and discussed by as broad an audience as possible.
