Walkers Point Center for the Arts Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Chicago Artists Gabriel Villa, René H. Arceo and the Artists of Pilsen Friday, March 13 to Saturday, April 25, 2009 Opening Reception: Friday, March 13, 2009, 5-9 pm |
 René Arceo at work, 2008 |
With this new body of work, Gabriel Villa explores several new directions, a refocusing of subject matter on the human form and the introduction of an idiosyncratic, psychological element that positions his portraits beyond the traditional. René Arceo's work has been influenced by an awareness of the populist tradition of Mexican printmaking and by his regard for the work of Mexican artists such as Alfredo Zalce and Leopoldo Mendez. It recalls the modernist movement in Mexico and its dialogue with European traditions. Pilsen a predominately Mexican neighborhood and its residents have built a set of cultural institutions that far outpace many wealthier neighborhoods, crowned by the excellent National Museum of Mexican Art and many working artists. |
