Experience the magical work of leading Latin American sculptor Jorge Jiménez Deredia at the debut of his latest exhibition in one of Houston’s premier contemporary art hubs, Art of the World Gallery. The anticipated exhibition, titled Cosmic Energy in the Sculpture of Jiménez Deredia, premieres Thursday, January 18 and will feature 17 of the artist’s works.
With pieces in more than 50 personal and 100 collective exhibitions, spanning museums, public institutions, as well as a commissioned statue in the Vatican public collection, Deredia’s work is highly acclaimed. And it’s no wonder: The sculptures in his “Genesis” series are wonderfully formed, with beautifully smooth curves and spheres.
Deredia describes this form as the “perfect expression of the universal globality” of today, which is fitting — his “Genesis” sculptures evoke universal, mythical imagery.
Art of the World Gallery represents 20 years of experience in the art business, and its 6,500 square-foot River Oaks space features modern and contemporary art by living global artists. The gallery maintains direct relationships with the artists, allowing them to offer patrons an effective and accessible approach to art collecting.
Cosmic Energy in the Sculpture of Jiménez Deredia will open on January 18 and run through March 17. View the exhibition Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
