South Texas College’s Technology Campus Library presents “Still: An Art Exhibit,” featuring artworks by Sandra de la Fuente. The exhibit opens Thursday, September 8, 2015 with an artist lecture held on October 15 from 6-7pm to coincide with the International Wave of Light celebration. Artwork will be on view through December 7 at the Technology Campus Library, located at 3700 W. Military Hwy. in McAllen. Admission is free and open to the public.
“Still: An Art Exhibit” is a meditation on loss, tragedy, solitude, spirituality, and memory. Through the use of mix-media, artist Sandra de la Fuente explores feelings of profound personal depth. The challenging topic deals with the sudden passing of family and the pieces are used to convey a message to the viewer and translate the incomparable loss of a child. Media used includes ink, spray paint, oil sticks, acrylic paint and charcoal pencil.
“Sandra de la Fuente explores her own personal tragedy to bring understanding and awareness to our community,” said Gina Otvos, STC Library Art Gallery Associate. “Her use of various media and techniques produces a unique internal interactive experience.”
STC’s Library Art Gallery exhibits regional, national and international artwork, explores new visions and theories of creativity, and introduces innovative artistic expressions to the South Texas region.
