Centro Cultural Aztlan is delighted to present local artist Raul Servin’s, solo exhibition Puro Chile Series at Galeria Expresion.
A native to Acapulco, Raul Servin came to San Antonio in 1968 to help paint various murals for the Flying Indians Pavilion at HemisFair, commemorating the 250th anniversary of the founding of San Antonio. Ever since, Servin has been an active contributor to the San Antonio art scene.
About his Puro Chile Series, Servin, asserts that –-
the purpose for this series wasn’t to paint the different kinds of ‘chiles’ but to make visible the struggles and celebrations of my people on both sides of the border. For this series, I try to blend my hybrid Mexican culture and American experiences into a single entity. I combine history, mythology, religion, politics and struggles, past and present, real and contrived. At the end of this series I have a sense of fulfillment in my purpose of adding more color, and spice to the series as well as identity.
