The Experience, Richmond: Richmond Art Center New Exhibit

The Experience:

Summer exhibitions are open!

Summer exhibitions bring ‘Nahui Ollin’ to the main gallery with work by Andrés Cisneros-Galindo. Opening reception is Saturday, July 15, 12-2pm.

This exhibition is the first major survey of the 50 year artistic trajectory of Richmond-based artist Andrés Cisneros-Galindo. Andrés Cisneros-Galindo is a multi-disciplinary artist and educator whose work is marked by a strong sense of history, a commitment to community organizing, and experimentation. Germinating in the 1960s from the leftist politics of his native Tijuana, Mexico. Cisneros-Galindo’s work took root in the Bay Area’s Chicano movement of the 1970s and through the decades has pursued an exploration of the quintessential American experience.

You’ll experience Cisneros-Galindo’s wide range of work, which include collagraphs, mixed media collages, sculptures, political serigraph posters, and large abstract expressionist paintings. Together, this collection of works will offer an intimate perspective into Cisneros-Galindo’s experiences as a Mexican immigrant, activist, educator and artist grappling with the social and political currents of American life.

His exhibition is accompanied by ‘Printmaking at NIAD’, a group show of artists who have worked with Cisneros-Galindo.

Anne Wolf invites reflection on the word “enough” through artistic collaborations in ‘ENOUGH Considered’.

Lastly, a solo exhibition by David Burke, ‘Solastalgia’, explores the psychological impact of environmental destruction.
