Sydney Guzman: “Under the Moon’s Eye”

Austin-based and McAllen-born artist Sydney Guzman says her upcoming sculpture & painting exhibition began from a conversation – not with a person, but the universe. “In moments of uncertainty, I pose a silent question,” says Guzman. “And the world responds, not with words, but through intuitive signs: an animal crossing my path, an object pulling my attention, a subtle shift in energy.” These questions and their answering signs brighten the Ivester walls this Saturday, April 19, with Guzman’s bold colors and “gestural brushstrokes,” as the gallery describes, bringing to viewers’ minds questions of transition, form, and self. Don’t be surprised if after you leave the gallery, you, too, will see the world responding to your unspoken inquiries; just be open to the visions. – James Scott
