This highly anticipated exhibition marks the very first solo show for Noe Perez, a world-class painter from Falfurrias, Texas. Perez has spent most of his life ranging flat, brushy South Texas ranch lands that surround his hometown, and has made a strong reputation for himself by painting this rugged countryside, an area romantically referred to as “the Wild Horse Desert”. Other than fervent bands of hunters, these broad expanses of South Texas generally constitute “fly over” country for most of today’s Texans. Seemingly desolate to the casual viewer, the area is also a “road less traveled” by most Texas artists as well, having been largely written-off as less than picturesque by most landscape artists. Fortunately for South Texas, and us all, there is Noe Perez! With keen eye and strong brush, Perez brings this sparse, sturdy country to life on canvas.
