"The Iconic Portrait Strand by Nestor Topchy" 

"The Iconic Portrait Strand by Nestor Topchy," August 4, 2023-January 21, 2024, presents more than one hundred portraits made over the past twenty years by Houston-based artist Nestor Topchy. The small paintings that depict the artist’s friends and colleagues resemble Byzantine icons. Topchy’s materials are traditional: red clay, powdered marble, gold leaf, pure pigments, and egg yolk on small wooden panels.
