He Said, She Said: Benito Huerta & Janet Chaffee Opening Reception

Benito Huertas paintings, drawings, sculptures, and prints explore the intersection of cultures, skillfully blending language, abstraction, representation, high art, and the everyday. Huerta examines shifting boundaries, conflicting information, and cultural stereotypes to create modern archetypes that can be humorous, ambiguous, or even unsettling. His subject matter includes an amalgamation of political, economic, and social commentary along with personal identity. Janet Chaffee’s work involves the process of layered materials and imagery, reflecting the earth's geological formations and the intricately interwoven connections found in our communities and relationships, many of which underpin her life.
