, Karla Michell García presents a series of ceramic sculptures resembling cacti.
The idea for the show, which runs through July 2, has been years in the making, according to Luna, whose biggest challenge was selecting the 40 artists from a list of over 200 he considered for inclusion. Starting with such an exhaustive list required him to do additional research online and spend time visiting with creators to learn more about their work.
The exhibition fills both floors of the Centro de Artes galleries, and it contains a variety of large-scale and innovative installations. The works encompass nearly every medium, including video, sculpture, painting, photography and printmaking.Among the exhibition's highlights is the work of Gil Rocha, an artist who was born and raised in Laredo. Fittingly, Rocha's work often speaks to the ways people learn to adapt and survive in underserved communities.
Crude yet inventive, Rocha's structures seem to hold countless untold stories from the past and current lives of the objects that comprise them.Born in El Paso, San Antonio-based artist Jose Villalobos is heavily influenced by border culture, and his work often appropriates macho-identifying signifiers such as vaquero outfits. Villalobos dismantles their meaning through explorations of his queer identity.
"She's talking about these self-imposed borders that we create," Luna said."I think the message she has in her work is one we're all dealing with." "Soy de Tejas" comes at a significant time for Latino artists in Texas. A report in the Texas Tribune last fall revealed that Hispanic residents now make up more of the state's population than Anglo residents. That demographic shift reflects a growth in Latinx populations in other parts of the country.
