Friday, June 3, 5:00 – 8:00 pm
Artists Robbie Ortiz & Brandon Parr will be paired together for the next art exhibit at Salado Wine Seller. These two contemporary artists were chosen to exhibit due to their creativity and joy which they express in their own special way.
Robbie Ortiz was born in New Braunfels, Texas and has lived in Austin since 1993. His main materials are colored pencil, ink, and acrylic. Robbie has no formal training, just reading books and making art. He is interested in cubism but feels strongly that art cannot be crazy abstract, it must have some way to tie in with the real world. Although that may simply be an eyeball.
The exhibit will also feature Brandon Parr who’s style tends toward the more realistic. Mr. Parr was born in Waxahachie, Texas in 1979. One day he discovered the old Kay guitar in the hall closet. Music and art became his life from that moment on. Parr cherishes solitude and privacy, but he intends to touch the soul of the audience with his art. His creations are bright and pleasurable. He lives in Salado with his wife and their dog and can be seen performing on guitar all around central Texas.
You’re invited to meet the artists at their opening reception, on Friday, June 3rd from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. Light snacks will be served and Texas wines will be available for purchase.
Their art will grace the walls of Salado Wine Seller where it will be available for sale until August 2011.
