Hidalgo, a local abstract artist and recent UNLV MFA graduate, is also the co-owner of Available Space Art Projects gallery. If his name sounds familiar, your intuition might be right: his public art has popped up around town.

For this exhibit, he merges digital photography and traditional painting, so it includes both photographs and paintings. All of which focus on a variety of themes: vision in the digital age, reality, personality, and the poetics of the mundane.

And the title? Hidalgo says his “lifelong project is to always be ‘goldmining’ the visual field for moments of unexpected visual poetry, to then enhance and distill these passages in intimately painted works.”

The exhibit runs through January 26.
