Ruiz-Healy Art is delighted to present More Than Words: Text-Based Artworks II at our San Antonio and New York City galleries featuring works by Richard Armendariz, Nate Cassie, Andrés Ferrandis, Katie Pell and Ethel Shipton in both exhibitions. In addition, works by Cisco Jímenez and Gary Sweeney will be exhibited in San Antonio, while works by Cecilia Biagini will be exhibited in New York City. The exhibits open with an artist reception in San Antonio on Wednesday, March 25th and in New York on Thursday, April 16th, both from 6 – 8 PM in their respective time zones. The San Antonio exhibition will be on view through May 9, 2020, and the New York exhibition will be on view through May 23, 2020.
From autobiographical narratives of an adventurous childhood exploring the forests of Delaware in Katie Pell’s work to storylike carvings chronicling lush scenes of animals personified as literary figures in Ricky Armendariz’s work, the use of text in the works of these eight artists range from subversive social commentary to rapturous meditation. Text, a recurring hallmark throughout art history, demands we read the visual composition of a painting or sculpture and interpret bits of language simultaneously. Text pulls the viewer in, slowing them down to consider how the text and its imagery inform the other. Furthermore, the intentional use of text in artwork can serve to disrupt our passive consumption of media, both digital and analog. In these exhibitions, each artist creates work in undeniably unique styles and processes, all anchored together by the written word, granting the viewer an additional clue with which to interpret the works.
