Hayfer Brea is an artist working in photography, installation and sculpture. A recent immigrant to San Antonio from Venezuela, his photographs document visions of things red, white and blue. Brea noticed these colors popping up everywhere and started photographing them on his travels around the city. The resulting images, both beautiful and often sad, serve as portraits of America.

Whether making a mark on paper, a sculpture for the gallery wall, or an intervention in the public realm, San Antonio-based Ethel Shipton challenges context and draws on the power of the unexpected. In one series, she upholsters basketball hoops, skateboards, baseballs, and axes with colorful vinyl, boldly feminizing traditionally masculine objects. For a public commission at a newly built San Antonio bus transfer, Shipton tinted the station’s windows blue, yellow, red, and green, and applied the words “GRACE,” “LISTEN,” “TALK,” and “FORWARD.” These evocative gestures both softened and activated the otherwise stagnant waiting room, encouraging interaction between the waiting strangers.
Shipton’s work has been featured in solo exhibitions at venues throughout San Antonio, TX, including RC Gallery (2001); Cactus Bra Gallery (2000); and Sala Diaz (2000). Her recent group projects include Stitch in Time, Women and Their Work, Austin, TX (2005); Piecework, Dallas Center for Contemporary Art, TX (2004); and Analia Segal and Ethel Shipton: Feminizing forms?, Finesilver Gallery, San Antonio, TX (2003). In 1999-2000 the artist was director of The Project Room Space, San Antonio, Texas.

Naturaleza muerta por asfixia (Asphyxiated still life) project was born in 2010 because of a personal health experience. After suffering this illness she became more conscious and concerned about the modern food industry and its consequences in our health. “I started to question whether eating processed food or buying pre-cooked dishes was the right thing to do. Fruits and vegetables are genetically modified so they can last longer and look better, as if they were packaging products. Food´s appearance seems to be more relevant than the actual quality…” “I use my art to encourage people to be more conscious about modern lifestyle habits, where citizens lose contact with the origin of the products that we consume on a daily basis. Bengoechea develops her artistic work through several different medias such as painting, drawing, photography and installation.
