The artist’s collective known as Contrapunto consists of a tight-knit group of Latin American creators from Peru, Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela. The name of the collective translates to “counterpoint,” which is the technique of combining two or more melodic lines in such a way that they establish a harmonic relationship while retaining their linear individuality.

A new exhibition of work by the collective is currently on view at the Hudgens Center for Art and Learning, at the Fowler Gallery and the Kistner Atrium, through Jan. 20.

In this interview, Contrapunto founder and contributing artist Carlos Solis spoke with “City Lights” producer Summer Evans to talk more about the group’s new showcase.  



“Once the viewer comes to our show and starts interacting with the artwork, they start to understand the difference in our cultures and the beauty in it,” Solis said.

The new exhibition of work is on view at the Fowler Gallery and Kistner Atrium at the Hudgens Center for Art and Learning now through Jan. 20.
