Woolgathering: Aguafiestas
Closing reception February 1st, 6-10pm Rowan Morrison Gallery is pleased to announce a solo show of new works by Mitsy Ávila Ovalles. A San Jose native, and self proclaimed “ESL”, Ovalles utilizes her abilities and as an accomplished draftswoman to create amazingly painted artifacts of Mexican, Chicano and American pop culture. She draws inspiration from a deep pool of imagery including Latino “b-list” celebrities from soap operas, sports, and pop music, as well as animal and consumer iconography. Her paintings are deeply layered and richly textured and often presented as part of larger murals and installations that include an array of narrative and personal artifacts, yet speak of a common cultural, generational and gender experience.
