Josh Banks: Genie Visions at the Magnolia (Presented by Ro2) — July 24, 6-9 p.m. 3699 McKinney Ave. Ste. 100 Dallas, TX 75204.

A City Under the Influence: Kickoff Party at Fashion Art Network — July 24, 8 p.m. – 12 a.m. 3001 Quebec St. Ste. 102 Dallas, TX 75247.

the imp of the perverse by Alika Herreshoff at RE Gallery — July 26, 7-9 p.m. 1717 Gould St. Dallas, TX 75215.

Herreshoff’s paintings offer sumptuous forms that seem to ooze about his canvases. There’s a temptation to use the word biomorphic, but these feel more biological, all body fluids and wet tongues. The former member of the artist collective Dearraindrop is also currently in Houston artist Mark Flood’s dead pan exhibition “Mark Flood Resents.”
