Painter Esteban Cabeza de Baca speaks there Wednesday, and it is a highly anticipated event.
Esteban Cabeza de Baca attempts to paint overlapping time periods, all on the same canvas. Public programs are the way that colleges and universities connect with the local community. The lectures, art exhibits, concerts and classes they offer primarily serve the needs of students, but they are also a way for these institutions to give back to the cities and towns they call home. They enrich lives; they’re important.
But Cabeza de Baca has a unique way of rendering these pictures. He lays down a coat of dye and then paints layer after layer of scenery on top of that. The layers do not necessarily match up — they cover different places, different angles and perspectives, multiple horizon lines. They come together like collages.
Sharing space in the Steele Gallery is painter Catherine Haggarty with a retrospective of works made from 2014 to the present. The show is a wild mix of sizes and shapes, and also media. Haggarty works in airbrush, acrylics, oils, stencils, oil sticks, wax crayons and more. In the campus’ other major exhibition space, the sunny Rotunda Gallery, curator Jeff Page has organized a series of recent works by local painter Lydia Farrell, and it is a revelation.
