November 21, 2008 - January 3, 2009 Smoke and Mirrors Alex Rubio (San Antonio, TX) David Vega (San Antonio, TX)
In this collaboration, artists Alex Rubio and David Vega create intricate individual depictions of a personal vice, then break up the two harsh images into innocuous fragments, diffusing and intermixing the ambiguous pieces and collectively forming an amorphous cloud of their indulgences. The looming juxtaposition of the vices effectively transforms the artists' negative habits into a mysterious illusion of monochromatic flourishes and embellishments, altering the viewer's consciousness and influencing the viewer's perception of the harsh reality of the work and into a false sense of subtlety and beauty.
Opening Reception: Friday, November 21, 6:30-10pm Closing Reception: Saturday, January 3, 3-5pm
