Texas Contemporary Artist: Luis Valderas March 6, 2009

In his ever-growing and evolving body of work, Luis Valderas creates contemporary narratives, inimitably expressed through a filter of Meso-American myth and iconography that chronicle the Chicano experience on the borderlands and beyond. This exhibit features 12 pieces, including 'El Sur Pacific-1945,' an inlaid woodcut inspired by the stories his father told Valderas as a child about his experience serving in the South Pacific in World War II.
