Texas Contemporary Artists Series

Texas is fast becoming one of the most progressive and exciting art scenes on the horizon. The Texas Contemporary Artists Series exhibitions showcase the talents of some of Texas’ premier artists.

In keeping with Institute of Texan Cultures' mission of engaging the “understanding and celebration of Texas’ cultural heritage," I chose to focus on the work of contemporary artists who call Texas home.

The selected artists cover a broad spectrum of artistic styles and mediums. Common to all of their work, however, is the bold vision and unbridled exuberance that is the quintessence of Texan culture.

Carmen Oliver
Feb. 6-June 20

Carmen Oliver was born in Mexico City. Over the last three decades, she has been painting and showing her work in both Mexico and the United States. In 2000, Oliver’s work was included in the Biennale Internazionale d’Arte Contemporanea di Firenze, Firenze, Italy. She has made Texas her home since 2002. Combining abstract and representational elements, her new work lyrically pays homage to all women.
