From Not For You Gallery:
“ABOUT THE EXHIBITION: “Reforma” is the second 2021 solo exhibition from local artist and gallery owner Ursula Zavala. The show serves as an epilogue to the previous show titled,”It’s Not Fun Anymore” that took place at Clamp LIght Studios and Gallery and ran in October 2021. Whereas that show was an expression of stress and trauma, “Reforma” is a celebration of life and healing with a new perspective represented by new mediums recently learned by the artist. The show features soft sculptures, paintings, and an interactive piece that invites viewers to participate in the healing process. The opening takes place the week of the artist’s birthday, which is used as a symbol throughout the work. Ideas of rebirth and the hopes of a more positive future where the struggles of mental health and anxiety improve over time are at the core of the exhibition. The work presented is made with the assistance of the Luminaria Artist Foundation’s Working Artist Fund.
