Saturday’s event pick: “Chasing Color, Finding Light” at Davis Gallery

Artist Laurel Daniel is constantly challenged by the mysterious behavior of color and light, a subject she decided to highlight with “Chasing Color, Finding Light.” In this new show, she focuses on familiar subjects — landscapes, interiors and still lifes — while giving special attention to how they are clarified, sculpted and “colored” by light.

Her works explore the ordinary and the beautiful in both man-made creations and nature, like the white of a hydrangea blossom versus that of a floating cloud.

Details: Opening reception 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday through June 4. 837 W. 12th St. 512-477-4929, davisgalleryaustin.com.
