Description: Reception in honor of Marie Valdez's Faculty Exhibiton.
The human condition, universal archetypes, and cultural identity have always been driving forces in Marie Valdez’s artwork. The city of Houston became a foundation for her to explore these ideas: it’s infrastructure, economy, population, and weather patterns have long provided both a visual and conceptual backbone in Valdez’s paintings.
“Raum” builds on the atmospheric tone of Valdez’s ongoing work while expanding on her more recent interest in bucolic rural imagery. Together, this body of work – which spans both geographies and techniques – portrays the interrelationships between beauty & hope juxtaposed with destruction & desolation. Images representing both dense urban environments and rural scenery serve as a reminder of the expansive and complex nature of life itself, while the title, “Raum,” blurs the definition of space, place, and time.
