Sicardi Gallery presents “Drawings”
By Olivia Flores Alvarez
Published: September 6, 2007Sicardi Gallery presents “Drawings,” a new exhibit by Luis Fernando Roldan. (Houston art lovers might remember Roldan from the 2006 group exhibition at Sicardi Gallery, “Marked Pages.”) “Drawings” includes work that at first glance seems to be simple patterns or even random lines, but further inspection reveals an unsuspected complexity and elegance. Roldan, who has work hanging in the Museo de Arte Moderno de Bogotá and the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano in Managua, Nicaragua, has been exhibited in New York, New Orleans, Madrid, Bogotá, Buenos Aires and, of course, Houston.
Tuesdays-Saturdays. Starts: Sept. 6. Continues through Oct. 6, 2007
