Progreso Art is pleased to present Symbol Perception
As Suspect Device an exhibition incorporating
two-dimensional works, installation and sound
environment by Kris Ohlinger and Pablo De La Rosa.
Pablo De La Rosa (www.pablodelarosa.net)
Pablo De La Rosa is an artist, musician and graphic
designer living in the South Texas and Mexico border
region. His music has been featured in ISM Magazine
www.ismcommunity.org.

Artist Statement:
My artwork allows me to play out a fascination with
emotionally established perceptive associations and
how these affect the creative process, its output, and
an audience's mode of evaluation through experiments
with sound, music, and visual art.

Kris Ohlinger (www.krisoh.com)
Kris has been featured in Festiva and published in
Gallery: UTPA's journal of student literature and art.
He is a physics and math major at UTPA and produces
art to the distraction of both. His work consists of
abstract field drawings and steel and mixed media
sculptures.

Artist Statement:
This conglomeration of products-produced has grown out
of a frenzy-search for that "something" out of
abstraction that hits like a life lesson suddenly
understood with the caveat that the lesson broadens
the search itself. The area of investigation lies in
generalized patterns and matters of scale independence
and transcendence of properties and other intangible
tanglings with my attempt at cooping with my
perception. I like to think these "dances with chance"
run contrary to reductionist attacks on conceptual
holes and stab blindly into the expansive unknown to
an aesthetic so-so.
