Xochi Solis
Rooted by invisible means

Xochi Solis’ exhibition, Rooted by invisible means, includes collage-based works that reveal underlying layers of the artist’s environment and influences. Constructed in two dimensions from layers of paint, paper, and plastics, Solis’ abstract forms play with dimensional space and the circular shape of portals or ellipses. This exhibition includes monoprints, works on paper, and large-scale wall works created specifically for the Galveston Arts Center Brown Foundation Gallery.
