(March 4, 2010)--As part of the Texas Contemporary Artists Series, the Institute of Texan Cultures will host an exhibit of paintings by Carmen Oliver through June 20. Admission is free with UTSACard.
>> An opening reception, free and open to the public, is 5:30-7:30 p.m., Thursday, March 4.
A native of Mexico City, Oliver has shown her work in Mexico and the United States for 30 years. For the last 10 years, she has made Texas her home. In 2000, her work was included in the Biennale Internazionale d'Arte Contemporanea di Firenze in Italy.
According to exhibition curator and UTSA art specialist Arturo Almeida, Oliver's new work lyrically fuses abstract and representational elements. Fantastic and wondrous, her poignant narratives magically celebrate the everyday lives of women.
Oliver also is exhibiting paintings through May 10 at the Radius Cafe, 106 Auditorium Circle. For more information, call 210-896-1985.
