DAVID CATON (b. 1955)David Caton is a painter whose work spans three decades of exploring landscape, still life, architectural, and mythological painting. Caton began to study painting during his high school years in Houston. He earned his BFA from the University of Houston and completed his MFA graduate studies at Yale University.Throughout his early years, Caton exhibited regularly and was invited to be in group shows. He has since had numerous solo exhibitions, and his paintings are featured in corporate and private collections across the country.Caton has a close affinity for the terrain of the west, especially that of the Big Bend region of Texas and the states of Utah and Arizona. He travels to these areas regularly to gather plein air painting material for future paintings. He usually executes studies in oil or pastel before completing the larger canvases. His refined technique and love for depicting the grandeur and drama that exist in nature have generated works that are both monumental and compelling.Selected Biographical and Career Highlights1955 Born in Pasadena, California1974 Houston Post Scholastic Award, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston1979 European Travel Grant, administered through the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston1979 BFA, University of Houston1980 Ford Foundation Graduate Assistance Grant, Yale University1981 Teaching Assistant to Gretna Campbell1982 Teaching Assistant to Samia Halaby1982 MFA, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut1985 National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship Grant1987 National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship GrantResides in Utopia, TexasSelected Exhibitions1975 Annual Spring Exhibition, Cullen Center, Houston1975 Truair, Hornbuckle, Sellers, and Caton, One Allen Center Houston1977 Houston Area Show, Blaffer Gallery, University of Houston1977 Houston Invitational Painting, Max Hutchinson Gallery, Houston1979 Max Hutchinson Gallery, Houston1979 Miniature Show, Lawndale Annex, University of Houston1981 MSU Gallery, Texas A&M University, College Station1982 Art and Architecture Gallery, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut1983 Group Show, Diverse Works, Houston1984–86 Wilhelm Gallery, Houston1986 Lawndale Lab Show, Lawndale Art Center, Houston1987–88 Wilhelm Gallery, Scottsdale, Arizona1987–88 Bienville Gallery, New Orleans1988 Houston '88, Cullen Center, Houston1988–90 Bell Ross Gallery, Memphis, Tennessee1993 Fur, Fins, Feathers and More; A Multi-Media Menagerie, Galveston Art Center, Galveston1994 Romancing The Land, Galveston Art Center, Galveston1994 Landscape Without Figures, Hooks Epstein Gallery, Houston?1996 Intimate, Houston Area Small Works Exhibition, Davis Gallery/Pennzoil Place Gallery, Houston2001 A Sense of Place, Williams Tower, Houston2001 Group Exhibition, Park Central VII, Dallas2001 Living and Working in Texas, Park Central VII, VIII and IX, Dallas2001 Still Lifes, Transco Tower, Houston2001 David Caton & Libby Johnson, Harris Gallery, Houston2001 Texas Landscapes, Transco Tower, Houston2001 Opening Exhibition, Barbara Able Gallery, Santa Fe, New Mexico2002 Group Exhibition, Williams Tower, Houston2002 Group Exhibition, Harris Gallery, Houston2004 David Caton and Bill Zaner, Harris Gallery, Houston2015 Painting in the Texas Tradition: Contemporary Texas Regionalism, Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts, Spring2015 Ties that Bind: Contemporary Regionalism, Turner House, DallasSelected Public CollectionsAGL Resources, Atlanta, GeorgiaAmerican General Corp., HoustonAndrews Kurth, HoustonBank of America, HoustonBank One, HoustonChase Bank, HoustonChase Bank, San AntonioChevron, HoustonDow Chemical, HoustonDuke Energy, HoustonElectronic Data Systems, DallasFidelity Investment, HoustonFidelity Investment, Denver, ColoradoFirst City Bank, HoustonHeritage Media, DallasHilton Americas, HoustonHoussiere, Durant & Doussiere, HoustonM.
