July 20 - September 29, 2024
From the Galveston Arts Center:
“Beach Bodies features the work of three artists exploring representations of the human figure in the sandy landscape of our coastal recreational spaces. Through works made from materials including sand, self-tanning solution, found video, and painting, the artists in this exhibition share perspectives on the physicality of the body on Galveston’s beaches.
The exhibition includes Cody Ledvina’s Galveston Butts made using sand from Galveston’s shore that playfully nod to the sediments we carry home with us from the beach. Liz Rodda employs diverse media to examine forces surrounding the contemporary body and our relationship with the sun. Xavier Schipani’s large-scale panting and mural work situates the figure in the transitional horizon of water and sand. The exhibition explores the beach as a site of pleasure and discomfort.”
