Reception December 1st, 6-8 PM
Crossroads brings together a printmaker and two painters who live in Texas. Their works transport the eye through geographic, temporal, and relational junctions that offer glimpses into the past and future. The pieces grapple with expressing multidimensional moods, experiences, and identities.
Karen Sova (b. 1991) is Czech and American. She earned her law degree from the University of Texas at Austin in 2021. She lives in San Antonio, TX. She is inspired by the West Texas landscape. She juxtaposes nature and symbols to explore incongruous aspects of life in Texas. She uses hand tools and plywood to create her prints.
Cameron Choate (b. 1987) is an artist based in Austin, TX. He was born in Greenville, TX and raised in Floresville, a small town south of San Antonio. He studied Studio Art, focusing on drawing and painting, at the University of North Texas.
Cameron is a non-representational artist. His pieces meditate on how the placement of shapes, lines, and colors creates interactions and movement. He primarily uses acrylic and house paints on canvas, wood, and found objects.
Weylin Neyra (b. 1991) is a Nicaraguan artist exploring tensions within us and the world around us, and dealing with questions of meaning. He was born in Miami, FL and is based in Austin, TX.
Weylin uses oils as a medium to create surreal elements of figures and eyes revealing themselves against blurred vivid landscapes, building a mystifying tension between the subject, its environment, and the viewer. His work intends to express musings of the human psyche and inspire cross-cultural connections. His latin heritage influences some of his paintings with pastoral scenes and seemingly indigenous figures.
