ART EXHIBIT: ‘Sleight of Hand’ by Paul Valadez [Through Sept. 2]

June 30th, 2011, 12:36 pm by

"Untitled (Card Trick)" by Paul Valadez Acrylic Photo: Nancy Moyer

Recent works by Paul Valadez show a controlled flair for light-hearted imagery. “Sleight of Hand” is a trip down memory lane for this artist. It will be on display at the South Texas College Library Art Gallery downstairs throughout summer.

As one of our most prolific local artists, Valadez brings a new subject to us – magic tricks. Each painting is direct in its imagery and reminisces a magic trick in a mid-20th century illustration style. Although the artist often expresses his early personal experiences in the central Valley of California, this exhibit contains childhood memories for anyone growing up in America at that time. Each painting depicts an illustration of a magic trick that might have embellished its packaging, or been used as an advertisement for a toy set of magic tricks. “Untitled (Card Trick)” shows a stereotypical magician, complete with goatee and moustache, divining the right card. “Untitled (Gone)” shows two hands, open and empty. A puff of smoke above them announces “Gone!”

What: “Sleight of Hand, “ New works by Paul Valadez

Where: STC Library Art Gallery, Bldg. F, 3201 W. Pecan Blvd.

When: Through Sept.2: weekdays 9am-10pm

Info: 956-872-3488 or http://lag.southtexascollege.edu
