deSoto Passion Trace

Lewis deSoto, Passion Trace, 2006, unique digital print (edition varie), Courtesy of the Artist

Passion Trace maps the history of deSoto's romantic relationships. Using colored lines to represent the women with whom he has had relationships and black for himself, he has traced their travels together on an invisible map of the world.

On view now.  Lewis deSoto: BEFORE AFTER - a solo retrospective exhibition featuring sculpture, works on paper, photography and site-specific installations.


When you visit the San Jose ICA on Valentine's Day, you can...

be enveloped in a meditative, immersive chocolate-scented art installation.


travel a darkened hallway and be lulled by a haunting vocal symphony.


ponder a kaleidoscope of prints reflecting an artist's life and passions.


be lulled by a trance-like interpretation of a classic 1950's ballad.


swoon over vintage car imagery, parts and accessories.


nibble on rich dark chocolate treats.



You can do all this and more, for free
at the San Jose ICA this Valentine's Day weekend.
