If you swing by Snitzer's, you'll notice two peculiar, orange-hued figures, standing tall in the grassy area adjacent to the gallery; the closer you get, the vaguer the figures become, apart from a light tribal theme. Inside the gallery's rusty-trailer project room, you'll find similar, smaller versions of those sculptures hanging on the wall. Artist Alejandro Contreras designed these strange creatures to reference the forest-dwelling Yanomami tribe of Venezuela and Brazil — but the pieces' contemporary, colorful, high-gloss finish puts them in a world all their own.
