Edinburg library hosts art exhibit

EDINBURG — The city of Edinburg invites the public to view artist Ricardo Benavides' art exhibit 'Maquinal Y Desgana.' The exhibition, located at the Dustin M. Sekula Memorial Library, features eighteen new and original works by the artist.

Scheduled to run now until Dec. 12, the exhibit will also feature an artist reception on Nov. 17, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., where attendees can listen to Benavides describe his artistic process and reasoning behind the exhibited artwork.

Benavides uses geometric forms to represent figures and reality minimalistic and cleanly. He uses digital software to construct structures based on traditional themes like still life, landscapes, and portraits but his work is a representation of the digital age we live in.

This event will observe all COVID-19 safe guidelines to ensure the safety of all in attendance. For more information, contact the City's Library & Cultural Arts Department at (956) 383-6246 or visit the City's Cultural Arts website at www.edinburgarts.com.
