From Ben Bailey Art Gallery:
“The Ben Bailey Art Gallery at Texas A&M University-Kingsville is proud to present the work of Javelina Alumni Rosendo Sandoval. He is an artist based in South Texas, who works mainly with oil painting to portray the Mexican culture found alongside the Texas-Mexico border. Inspired by ranching lifestyles and horseback riding traditions, his art speaks to the generations-long history of these ranching communities. Drawing on the influences of his culturally rich homeland, his vibrantly-colored oils capture the spirit of his homeland in bold, whimsical strokes. Rather than making explicit political commentary, Sandoval’s paintings feature the iconic imagery of the people, families, and places of South Texas and Mexico in a way that celebrates their shared heritage and traditions: its expansive landscapes and the proud heritage of its people. Sandoval brings this unique cultural perspective to life with his paintings, immortalizing the vibrancy and beauty of the people and places that have shaped his upbringing.”
