South Texas College’s Mid-Valley Campus Library Art Gallery presents “Virtuosa,” an exhibit featuring paintings by Gaby Rico. The exhibit opens Thursday, Sept. 24 with an artist lecture at 6 p.m. and will be on view through Dec. 10, 2012 at the Mid-Valley Campus Library Art Gallery located at 400 N. Border in Weslaco. Admission is free and open to the public.
“Gaby Rico’s work is a delicate balance between the real and the abstract,” said STC Library Art Gallery Associate Gina Otvos. “While her skill in color usage and blending is truly spectacular, she is also able to ignite a variety of emotions through her bold style. This exhibition is sure to speak to a very large audience.”
Gaby Rico is a self-taught artist currently living in Edinburg, TX. She has exhibited prolifically throughout the Rio Grande Valley since 2006. Her work is an expressionistic, social self-portrait, where she transcends established art standards by mixing materials and techniques. In this exhibit Rico will explore the human condition through a series of self-portraits.
STC’s Library Art Gallery Program exhibits regional, national and international artwork, explores new visions and th
eories of creativity, and introduces innovative artistic expressions to the South Texas region.
