(Nov. 120, 2006)--Through Dec. 9, the Southern Space Project will present an exhibit of paintings by Richard Martinez, UTSA assistant professor of art and art history, and local artist Estevan Arredondo.
Martinez' paintings combine modernist and baroque styles using various decorative elements to convey sensuality and a new type of visual language. In his paintings, he incorporates abstraction, color, texture and patterns in nature to evoke a cool, elegant distance found in the modernist style.
