Jerry Cabrera’s new exhibit, “Cape,” at the Museo Alameda opens on June 27 (6-9 pm reception) in the Proyectos Gallery. On July 7, 2-4pm he will give a talk on the work in the same gallery.

San Antonio artist Jerry Cabrera will explore the bullfight as no one ever has when his exhibit, “Cape”, opens at the Museo Alameda on June 27. Cabrera, who teaches painting and drawing at Texas State University and the University of Texas at San Antonio, says the idea for this group of paintings came to him after finding a correlation between the movements of the matador and that of a ballerina. The series depicts bullfights without the bull or the matador — only the movement of the cape. This is Cabrera’s way of illustrating the beauty and elegance of the bullfighter’s movements without glorifying the violence of a bullfight.
