Meghan West T ucked into Lawndale Art Center's mezzanine gallery is an exhibition of power, beauty, and spirituality. "Lynn Randolph: Between Worlds" addresses the ultimate mystery: the passage from life to death. The senior Houston painter eschews canvas and pigment this time to focus on drawings. The 22 works exhibited, most 18 by 24 inches, possess the gravitas and velvety surfaces of Rembrandts. Their subject is a tough one, yet the works are neither clinical nor maudlin. The curator, Susie Kalil (who recently revisited Dorothy Hood with a retrospective and accompanying volume) coaxed Randolph to present drawings developed as a response to her Drawing Another WORLD M other Nature has finally dipped the mercury low enough for us to think about wrapping up. Max Mara spotlights their timeless winter coats in a street-style photo exhibition of celebs and fashion icons sporting the toasty looks. Who hasn't yearned for the iconic 101801 cashmere and wool, oversized, double-breasted camel coat, designed in 1981 — a perennial sellout to this day. The "Wrapped in Luxury" exhibition of photos pulled from the firm's archives extends across two decades and can be viewed at the Galleria boutique Tuesday through Monday, December 19 through 25. Cold-weather photo inspiration comes from Jennifer Lopez, Elle Fanning, Gigi Hadid, Amy Adams, Karlie Kloss, Katie Holmes, and more. Max Mara, The Galleria, maxmara.com. Shelby Hodge COAT TALES nine years as an artist for MD Anderson Cancer Center's palliative care unit, where she enters the "sacred spaces" of the rooms of critically ill patients to alleviate suffering through art. Lawndale director Stephanie Mitchell facilitated the exhibition and its design, allowing the space to be reconfigured and painted a dark gray-blue. The quiet, contemplative chamber creates an experience akin to The Menil Collection's Surrealist galleries. Lawndale also hosts a second series by Randall, a collaboration with Jeffrey J. Kripal, Rice University professor of philosophy and religious thought. These drawings continue the Surreal tone, merging reality and the supernatural. In the gallery notes, Kalil writes: "Randolph covers the paper with dense pencil marks, obsessively sculpting and shaping the figures, actions, and storylines. They are painstakingly rendered worlds within worlds, promising voyages of spirits to unknown shores." A volume is planned to document the exhibition, and fund- raising through Lawndale is underway.
