Bruce Lee Webb
CURIOS

CURIOS features the work of Bruce Lee Webb alongside a selection of objects from his collection that have inspired him. His studies of characters and culture have guided his fascination and research into topics including honky-tonk cowboy music, visionary art, occult oddities, fraternal order societies, and antiquarian books. Webb’s work features musicians, folklore, and locales of personal significance painted in ink on vintage cotton seed bags and waxed cotton. The stories of their stained and creased surfaces are augmented with line and text. His works serve as repositories for him to share his many curiosities, recording the things he is interested in and fascinated by. The characters tell histories and tall tales of Texas, spanning the state from the coast to the ranch.

Bruce Lee Webb is an artist, collector, historian, and co-author of As Above, So Below: Art of the American Fraternal Society, 1850-1930. He splits his time between the high desert West Texas town of Fort Davis and Waxahachie, TX. His work has been featured in galleries throughout Texas, including exhibitions at Yard Dog, Austin, Koelsch Gallery, Houston, Lone Gallery, Dallas, and Commerce Gallery, Lockhart. His work is included in the Library of Congress as part of an acquisition of prints from Flatbed Press in Austin, TX.  He and his wife Julie Webb own Webb Gallery in Waxahachie, TX and Webb’s Fair and Square in Fort Davis, TX, specializing in the work of self-taught visionary artists and antiquarian books.
