Los Encuentros is a group exhibition featuring five Latinx artists: Justin Favela, Ozzie Juarez, Antonio Lechuga, Narsiso Martinez, and Yvette Mayorga. The exhibition emphasizes community collaboration and cultural representation, addressing issues related to the accessibility of art spaces, colonial histories, and the lived experiences of individuals. The artists employ a hybrid approach, integrating painting, sculpture, and installation to confront class, borders, and culture with humor and pathos. Maggie Adler serves as the guest curator, promoting engagement and inclusivity in the art community.
The artists of Los Encuentros are dedicated to community collaboration and the representation of Latinx culture to confront the accessibility of art spaces, colonial art histories, the conditions of labor, and lived experience.
Together, their works explore larger societal truths and complexities while responding to the experiences of the people and places they engage with and depict.
The exhibition's five artists work in converging visual languages, combining elements of painting, sculpture, and installation, inviting viewers to reconsider traditional artistic boundaries.
The artists' welcoming and seductive materials create encounters that feel personal, inclusive, and resonant with their own experiences while also challenging art world paradigms.
