The exhibition Let Us Gather in a Flourishing Way opens publicly this Saturday, October 24th at the Des Moine Art Center @desmoinesartcenter it was curated by Dr. Andrea Alvarez @andrea.alvarez.ch . This exhibition first opened at the Buffalo AKG Art Museum in NY, earlier this year it comprises of over 50 artist working in the US, and will travel to different US cities in the next couple of years.
“Inspired by a 2008 poem of the same name by former US Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera, “Let Us Gather in a Flourishing Way” celebrates the vision and creativity of Latinx painters. It showcases 58 artists who actively enrich the landscape of contemporary painting, introducing new approaches to form, materials, and subject matter. Many expand the boundaries of what can be considered a painting, experimenting with a wide variety of unconventional materials. Individually and collectively, the artists in this exhibition advance the history of both American art and global contemporary art.
“Let Us Gather in a Flourishing Way” embraces the cacophony, complexity, and heterogeneity of Latinx identity and Latinx art alike. All of the artists live and work in the United States but have roots in Central America and the Caribbean. The paintings they create speak to the multiplicity of their personal attachments and the dynamism of cross–cultural exchange. “Let Us Gather in a Flourishing Way” invites audiences to enter a vibrant network of images, associations, and stories. Many of the paintings are monumental in size, creating an immersive environment as rich in color and texture as it is in meaning and symbolism.”
Very happy to have a painting included in this ambitious exhibition with a roster of such amazing artists. If you’re in the Iowa area or in the mid-west it’s definitely worth checking it out! ✌️

This painting is showing at @davidzwirner in a group exhibition titled, California Light and Space (The 21st Century Version) curated by @hmolesworth , this is the last week to view it, it’s closing this Saturday August 1st.
The painting depicts a view from Solano Canyon which was linked with 3 neighborhoods, La Loma, Bishop, and Palo Verde known collectively as Chavez Ravine. Solano Canyon is also relatively close in proximity to La Zanja Madre and the Portola Trail campsite. The painting was based on a drawing I made circa 2020. I colored it to invoke the feeling of a cool fresh spring morning after a heavy spring downpour. Go check it out! ✌️ ♥️

This painting started as a drawing displayed at @espacio1839 as part of a Frida exhibit in 2021 curated by @kalliarte . I thought twice about accepting the invitation; approaching a subject with such a massive legacy sounded a bit daunting. I didn’t want my piece to be about “Frida” per se, but rather something more tangible to me.
I still remember vividly back in 2001, when I was a senior at Garfield HS, seeing a Frida reproduction for the very first time. She was a stranger, yet she looked familiar. I remember heading straight to the library to look her up in books. I found a photograph of her taken by Nicolas Murray in one of those books, and that same day I drew it. Fast forward to 2021: in the midst of the pandemic, I resorted to rereading my old books. I also began to draw them obsessively, stacked up alongside houseplants.
That drawing shown at Espacio eventually developed into a painting, which was displayed at my solo show at the @charliejamesgallery in 2022.
Currently, that painting is hanging in the exhibition Frida: The Making of an Icon at the @tate in London which runs until January 3rd, 2027. Over 41,000 online tickets were pre-sold before its opening, one of the most attended exhibits at the Tate Modern. It is an amazing feat for a Brown, Bi, communist, disabled, Mexican woman who, for a long time, lived in the shadow of her more “famous” husband, to have achieved.
I’m happy to have my little painting in there, hanging high in a dark corner of the Tate above a Frida poster, sharing space with her paintings. Feliz cumple, Friducha! 🤎🎨
