By Janelle Foskett MUSTANG DAILY STAFF WRITER

At first glance, it may look like simple rectangles, wood and paint. When these elements come together, however, they cre­ ate a piece ot abstract art in the purest form. These are the paintings of Stephanie Weber whose newest collection, “The Strict and the Sensual,” will he on display at the Cuesta Collefic Art Gallery through April 9. Weber is described as an abstract minimalist in the art community. Her multi-sectional paintings are organized in many configu­ rations. Some paintings include three equally sized rectangles or squares ot varying colors placed side hy side. Other paintings are created hy overlapping five differently sized rectangles and squares. The various sections ot her paintings usually employ different textures as well. Weber describes herself as a lover of materials who uses wotid, raw pigment and even ground glass to create her unique three-dimensional paintings. She said her paintings are ck)se tt) imbalanced, yet the sec­ tions hold together as one. She said each section is different, yet they are set up st) they have a crackling energy between them. “1 bring tt)gether t)pposiie elements in a way in which they speak to one another,” Weber said. Art Gallery [director Marta Pelu.so said Weber’s work is a strong representation of abstract art. “Her unusual use t)f balanced shapes and colors is what res­ onates emotionally with people,” she said. “Her juxtaposition of COLLIN HESTER/MUSTANG DAILY colors and textures impressed me from the first time 1 saw herErin Gillis, an art history student at Cuesta, examines some of the work on display by Stephanie Weber.
