Avenue 50 Studio is proud to present the paintings and drawings of San Antonio artist Alex Rubio. Rubio's work speaks of the Latino experience in a fiery fantastical world. His palate of brilliant hues, and use of high contrast -- reflective of the San Antonio sun -- explodes onto the canvas in swirling and undulating waves, as if each stroke transmits energy vibrating around and within the body. No stasis here. Rubio's large-scale black and white drawings reflect that same intensity -- sans color.

Alex Rubio is one of Cheech Marin's collected artists in the Chicano Visions: American Painters on the Verge exhibition. He is widely collected. Alex currently works at the Blue Star Contemporary Art Center in San Antonio, TX as an instructor and studio arts manager.

The artist will be present.

Please join us on Saturday, September 12 from 7-10 pm for our opening night reception.
