About the event

Next month we feature the work of Dallas based artist Eugene Sarmiento for their solo exhibition “IDLIIIIING” which premieres for August’s First Friday at The Blue Star Arts Complex.  Low key opening August 1, 2024 with the official opening reception on August 2, 2024 from 7-11pm and runs through August 24 on Fridays 6-8 and Saturdays 12-4.  

IDLIIIIING is a collection of works on paper based on moments of love in grief, long transcendent goodbyes and concepts of internalized mortality. I visualize memories and tribulations encapsulating wells of joy. Within my iconography, I personify many objects relating to markers of life such as heavy tombstones, dying suns, memories of has-been flowers, and the forever hauling heavy duty truck. I interpret joy and despondency as two sides to the same coin asking “how are we going to know what the good times are if we never have the bad times?”
