From Wally Workman Gallery:
“On Saturday, December 2nd, Wally Workman Gallery will open their first show with landscape painter Sylvia Benitez. In this show, Nocturnes and Promises, the artist expresses thoughts of closure as well as hope. Benitez considers her landscapes metaphors—representations of mood, aided and influenced by the memory of the landscape.
“Every day I observe a discreet majesty: rolling hills, big skies, long views, and jade-green rivers. I am inspired by South Texas: the expanse of the evasive sky—the smell of the mingled grasses. I love the rough field and the cow’s distant bellowing…the mist rising. Here, I’ve found an untamed land that is still relatively unmarred by modern footprint, and my painting tries to capture that.”
Widely exhibited, Sylvia Benitez is a nationally recognized artist residing in Seguin, Texas. Benitez is the recipient of many awards from numerous art granting foundations, including the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Puffin Foundation.
Established in 1980 and located in a 120 year old historic house, the Wally Workman Gallery specializes in emerging and collected talent.
