Juan Sánchez, "Para Martin Luther King, Jr.," 2008, Oil, acrylic, mixed media collage on wood panel, 74 x 72 in.
Thank you to Cassidy Donovan for her review of Pace University Art Gallery's current exhibition To Be Made Whole. The show includes HM&C Artist Juan Sánchez alongside five other artists who express themes of identity through mixed media.
"By combining photo-related and fiber arts—both widely accessible quotidian processes that many viewers practice personally, the artists in “To Be Made Whole” simultaneously examine not how these materials can be used to create art but how they can be used as a means of communication. They create a dialogue that is both personal and universal, exploring the ways in which the materials we use to construct our identities can be both limiting and liberating."
