Evita Tezeno, “She Sits Silently and Watches the World Around Her,” 2021, mixed media collage on canvas, 48 x 36 in (121.9 x 91.4 cm)

Description

A solo exhibition of new works by Texas-based artist Evita Tezeno will be presented. Tezeno’s collage paintings are composed of richly patterned, hand-embellished and painted papers, acrylic paint, graphite and found objects in a folk-art style. While influenced by the great 20th century modernists Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, and William H. Johnson, Tezeno’s unique voice reflects a synthesis of aesthetic approaches that animate her vision of Black America filled with humanity.
