Ruiz-Healy Art is delighted to present Four Visions: Carrington, Limas, Salcido, West at our San Antonio gallery in conjunction with FOTOSEPTIEMBRE USA International Photography Festival. The exhibition features work by four guest artists: Rahm Carrington, Carlos Limas, Joel Salcido, and Tito West.

Rahm Carrington is a self-taught photographer from San Antonio, TX. His career began as a videographer in the music industry. Shortly thereafter he inherited his father’s 1980’s 35mm camera and has been shooting film since and using analog processes. With a documentary approach, Carrington’s subject matter ranges from South Texas cowboys to globally touring musicians.

Born in Matamoros, Mexico, Carlos Limas is a multidisciplinary artist working in painting, video, installation, photography, and design. He has exhibited nationally and internationally throughout México, Belgium, Slovakia, Italy, France, China, and Bolivia. Limas completed his bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design from the Instituto Profesional de Arte y Diseño in Monterrey, Mexico, and a second bachelor’s degree in Studio Art by l’Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles in Belgium. He holds an MFA from the University of Texas at Rio Grande Valley.

Joel Salcido grew up along the U.S. and Mexican border immersed in a dual cultural reality. As a staff photographer at the El Paso Times he documented the Tarahumara Indigenous tribe of Mexico, covered the 1985 Mexico City earthquake, and traveled extensively in Latin America for USA Today. In 1991 he resigned as Photo Editor of the El Paso Times to pursue a freelance and fine art career. His work can be found nationally and internationally in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX; Harry Ransom Humanities Center at University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX; El Paso Museum of Art, El Paso, TX; Austonian and Wittliff Collections at Texas State University, San Marcos, TX; Federal Reserve Bank, El Paso, TX; University of Texas at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX; University of International Business and Economics, Beijing, China.

Tito West is a documentary filmmaker and photographer based in south Texas. His work focuses primarily on conservation related issues and the people that live in the last remaining wild places on earth and their subsequent cultural evolution into today’s global world. West’s artistic practice has taken him around the globe to countries like Ethiopia and Tanzania, and back home again to the states where he has traveled to Washington, Utah, and California.

Established in 2006, Ruiz-Healy Art specializes in contemporary works of art with an emphasis on Latinx and Latin American artists, as well as working with prominent Texas-based artists. With galleries in San Antonio, Texas, and New York City, Ruiz-Healy Art’s continuous investments in these underrepresented areas have remained a longstanding signature of the gallery program.
