BOX 13 ArtSpace will present four new exhibitions by artists Jonas Criscoe, Alexandria Canchola, Cassie Gnehm, and Mateo Gutiérrez.
"On the Backroads," a survey of works by Criscoe, explores the aesthetics of detritus and decay through the lens of surface, material and form. It looks to the rural backroads of Texas for inspiration, the forgotten towns, the faded facades of old buildings and the natural cycles of growth, decay, and renewal.
In the Back BOX gallery will be Canchola and their work "Fruits of Their Labor," an exhibit that explores the dynamic contrast between two extraordinary women who shaped the artist: her Cuban grandmother and her Mexican-American aunt, Aunt Carrie. By examining people's distinct yet interconnected lives, this body of work illuminates how their experiences inform the artist's understanding of identity, resilience, and a woman’s place in the world.
In the Window BOX gallery, "Cosmic Duality" by Gnehm showcases two oil and acrylic paintings that explore the connections between creation, transformation, and the infinite cosmos. Inspired by The Virgin of the Rocks and personal imagery, the works feature exaggerated hands cradling celestial orbs, symbolizing the delicate balance of life and death.
Finally, Gutiérrez presents several large scale hand-embroidered artworks depicting images of people coming across the US-Mexico border juxtaposed with images of people in the aftermath shootings. The title of the exhibition is "It's the End of the World As We Know It", and will be presented in the Upstairs Box gallery.
Following the opening reception, the exhibitions will remain on display through March 29.
