Troppy
Darrell Troppy gets waxed

HOT TICKET: The Art of Troppy

Born in the tiny farming community of LaSara, Texas (population 369) in the Southwest Texas Valley area, both Darrell Ray Troppy and his only brother, Danny, left the soil to be tilled by others and became artists. In 1984, Darrell Troppy moved to Houston. Soon thereafter, he found work at the legendary club, Heaven, as art director, creating sets for icons such as Grace Jones and Divine. Continuing to paint, his work found its way into local galleries and was eventually featured on Good Morning Houston. The transition from small town to metropolis finally lost its spark, goading Troppy to move to the quieter but still creatively thriving community of Beaumont. There he could focus on creating art in earnest. Drawing inspiration from many a source, memories of friends lost to AIDS

Tcreations
One of Darrell Troppy's creations.

 frequently motivates Troppy to put brush to canvass. Many of his paintings are related to one or more friends who fought the battle but didn’t make it. Among his varied media is a process that is over two millennia old, encaustic. Putting his own spin on the age-old method, Troppy combines the ancient wax with space-age polymers and digital photography. The results are vivid flashes of color, sometimes metallic, often incorporating familiar symbols such as the Valentine heart, communicating an overall sense of positivity. January 8-February 8 at One Allen Center, 500 Dallas St. More information: www.dtroppy.com.

Always at the forefront, Infernal Bridegroom Productions is participating in the largest simultaneous theater collaboration ever, with roughly 700 other groups around the U.S. and elsewhere producing a play a day for an entire year. Since each individual play is exceptionally short (no more than two pages), Parks wrote a triad of accessory plays called “The Three Constants.” Each day, one of Parks’ daily vignettes will be accessorized by the aforementioned trio. Look for cameos by local celebs. Free. Jan. 15-21, 8 pm, at The Axiom, 2524 McKinney. Info/reservations: 713/522-8443 or www.infernalbridegroom.com.
