Juan Sánchez – ¿What’s The Meaning of This?
Through December 27, 2015
BRIC Arts – Media House
647 Fulton Street
(718) 683-5645
Brooklyn
BRIC presents a solo exhibition of the work of influential Latino artist Juan Sánchez. This is the first time the artist’s work as presented is a solo exhibition in Brooklyn, where he was born and raised by Puerto Rican parents. One of the most significant Latino artists and Nuyorican cultural figures of the late twentieth century, Sánchez is a pioneer for artists of color in the United States. In his complex, layered compositions, he employs symbols drawn from popular and traditional culture, flags, photographs, texts, and abstract passages to explore questions of ethnic, racial, and national identity. BRIC’s exhibition of Sánchez’s work is especially poignant given Brooklyn’s status as one of the most demographically and culturally diverse locations in the country. The Juan Sánchez exhibition features some 30 works including large-scale mixed-media paintings, a selection works on paper, and video.
