San Antonio artist Ed Saavedra opening new exhibition at FL!GHT gallery

San Antonio interdisciplinary artist Ed Saavedra, a self-proclaimed “45-year overnight success,” will unveil his latest work Thursday, Dec. 5, and Friday, Dec. 6, at FL!GHT, now a stone’s throw from the gallery’s original location in a grain silo across the river. Blessed and burdened by a restless mind, a thorny wit and a gift of gab that borders on non-denominational sociopolitical glossolalia, Saavedra is a difficult character to pigeonhole. A perpetually disgruntled optimist seems close, at best.
