A solo exhibit of my work titled "Folk Pop: Victoria Suescum's Tienditas" will be on exhibit in the Charles Butt Paperworks Gallery at the McNay Museum of Art in San Antonio, TX.
Lyle Williams writes:
"San Antonio artist Victoria Suescum has long been fascinated with the paintings on the exterior walls of mom and pop shops in San Antonio, Mexico, and her native Panama. These hand-painted signs advertise the goods and services offered and represent a unique visual approach that combines Pop art, hybrid languages, and advertising traditions. Suescum’s acrylics on paper, created between 2012 and 2020, beautifully capture the colors, textures, scale, and forms of the wall paintings that inspired them. In addition to celebrating family-owned small businesses in minority communities, her work also documents these quickly vanishing works of folk art."
Look forward to a video interview with Lyle Williams, Curator of Collections,and myself in my studio. The show opens to the public on August 19 and remain on exhibit until January 10, 2021.
