Arte CalienteFor almost 25 years, South Texas businessman Joe A. Diaz has collected contemporary art created by American artists with roots in Hispanic culture.
This exhibition brings together more than 100 paintings, prints, drawings, and sculptures that are primarily narrative in content and address a wide range of political, social, and autobiographical issues.
From the gentle portraits of Gloria Osuna Perez to the political statements of Alfred J. Quiroz, Diaz believes that all of the works in his collection are "powerful, thoughtful, and really hot!"
Among the artists in the exhibition are Connie Arismendi, Alejandro Díaz, Ana Laura de la Garza, Ester Hernández, John Hernández, Benito Huerta, Luis Jiménez, Cesar Martínez, Chuck Ramirez, Alex Rubio, John Valadez, Vincent Valdez, and Kathy Vargas.
"Arte Caliente" is organized by the South Texas Institute for the Arts.
The exhibition will take place between March 26, 2006 and Sunday, June 11, 2006.
