Benito Huerta's demo at the Latino Cultural Center on velvet painting was great! More photos from the demo here.
He has several velvet paintings in his exhibit which is fabulous! One is on black velvet and one red velvet. Stop by the Latino Cultural Center and check it out.
Benito Huerta gallery talk
Benito Huerta's gallery talk gave a lot of insight into his use of myth and imagery in his artwork. I really enjoyed learning the connection between several pieces in the current exhibit and several past pieces referencing what he calls the cast of characters. Stephen Vollmer has written a great essay about the cast of characters. It is available at the exhibit, Maestros Tejanos I, which runs through July 19 at the Latino Cultural Center.
