A solo museum exhibition from artist Phillip Pyle, II. "So Far So Good" is a survey of the artist's work over the past 12 years. "Pyle is a visual artist, graphic designer, and photographer based in Houston whose primary interests are race, humor, advertising, sports, and popular culture. Mining imagery from sources diverse as mass consumer culture, contemporary advertising, to ephemera, historic imagery, and hip-hop, Pyle, introduces a complex vision that derives from a strong comedic foundation while also looking at the abstraction and transience of our values, and beliefs."
