Opening Reception: 6 pm followed by the Artist Talk.
Location: UTRGV Edinburg Campus, Performing Arts Complex Exhibit Hall
A new exhibit opens in the PAC Exhibit Hall Lobby on September 21st, coinciding with Hispanic Heritage Month. The artist is Julia Santos Solomon and the name of the exhibit is “El Dorado Despejado” or El Dorado Stripped”. She works in multiple genres—drawing, painting, sculpture, fashion design, landscape, mural, and illustration. Much of her work done is done in gold leaf to "re-appropriate" the precious metal taken from its source by conquering Europeans which are themes that flow through her work. Rich Caribbean colors immerse the viewer in the artist's personal world. Julia will also work with our students and give two art history lectures on campus.
For questions or special accommodations, please call (956) 665-3881.

El 21 de septiembre se inaugura una nueva exposición en el vestíbulo de la sala de exposiciones del PAC, coincidiendo con el Mes de la Herencia Hispana. La artista es Julia Santos Salomón y el nombre de la exposición es "El Dorado Despejado". Trabaja en múltiples géneros: dibujo, pintura, escultura, diseño de moda, paisaje, mural e ilustración.
Gran parte de su trabajo realizado está hecho en pan de oro para "reapropiarse" del metal precioso tomado de su origen por los conquistadores europeos, que son temas que fluyen a través de su trabajo. Los ricos colores caribeños sumergen al espectador en el mundo personal del artista. Julia también trabajará con nuestros estudiantes y dará dos conferencias de historia del arte en el campus.
Si tiene preguntas o adaptaciones especiales, llame al (956) 665-3881.
