Esther Ruiz, a fellow Houston, TX native, is having her first solo exhibition in New York at Wayfarers gallery in Bushwick. Ruiz is exhibiting a series of sculptures composed of concrete, poppy-colored plastics and neon lights. The fun nuggets of geometricities are reminiscent of miniature landscapes with competing textures and transparencies. The juxtaposition of highly distinct materials is beautiful in a very interesting way. The opening reception will be this Friday, October 11th from 7- 10 pm. You can view the exhibit until October 27th.
