Mestizo Art Exhibit: El Color Musical de la Etnia y el Mestizaje
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at International Art Museum of America
(see times)
Artist Reception: Friday, November 2, 5 - 8 PM
Accompanied by live Latin music, light hor d'oeuvres, face painting (available all day), and sugar skull painting in light of Dias de los Muertos.
Artist Arturo Martinez’s first solo exhibition is a culmination of music, culture, and ethnicity. His work reminds one of the great African American artist Romare Bearden’s artistic renderings of life, jazz, and people. Like Bearden, Martinez too praises his ethnicity and mestizaje without losing sight of the long struggle of the diverse ethnic communities of Mexico.
Each painting ripples with movement and ebbs according to the color chosen. For Martinez, “music has resonance.” His approach to color is like artist Wassily Kandinsky who believed color to be like a keyboard. Martinez’s paintings have a deep inclination towards the rhythm of Latin Jazz.
