The Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies at the University of California, San Diego invites you to an art exhibition and a reception in honor of award winning artist Alejandra Phelts
This exhibition by emergent Mexican artist Alejandra Phelts is the third in the Center’s International Contemporary Artists Series. The Center feels very proud to promote the work of this young Mexican artist and to promote the culture of Mexico.
Phelts, born in Mexicali, Mexico, in 1978, is a dedicated and talented artist whose creative activity takes place in Tijuana, Baja California. In 2002, she had her first solo exhibition in Tecate, Mexico. Since then, her work has been exhibited in several cultural centers and galleries in Mexicali, Tijuana, and San Diego. Phelts’s paintings feature urban landscapes enriched with luminous backgrounds and exalted chromatism, full of movement and life which represent the internal atmosphere of people. With her project Serie Cart she obtained the 2004-2005 FOECA Scholarship granted by the Instituto de Cultura de Baja California and CONACULTA. She is also the recipient of the 2005 Artistic Scholarship from the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California. Serie Cart is being exhibited for the first time at UCSD and will later be shown at several venues throughout Mexico.
