Infinity Square: An Exhibition by Louis Vega Treviño and Ben Mata.
This exhibition showcases the boundary-breaking works of contemporary artists Louis Vega Treviño and Ben Mata, with fabric and steel sculptures, unique geometric canvases, and bold colors. Color, balance, rhythm, and geometry, all contribute to their work as they try to examine and illustrate the relationships within each form and color as they evolve into an environment of their own. The color relationships, the repetition, the environments they create, all have an undeniable role in activating the senses creating a visual language for the viewer to translate into feelings, emotions and energy. Both artists have committed themselves to an innovative approach, with Treviño’s geometric abstraction on non-standard canvases, and Mata’s bold colors spread across his many experiments with materials. This exhibit offers an exciting look at the vibrancy and originality that San Antonio is known for.
