ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Many artists live cloistered within a studio, plying their trade sans outside interference. The notion of quarantine is normal.
But as the pandemic roils across the nation, it seeps into those creative spaces, splashing across canvas and carving.
“Contemporáneos Hispanos” gathers works by
Nicholas Herrera,
Patrick McGrath Muñiz and
Thomas Vigil at Santa Fe’s Evoke Contemporary,
evokecontemporary.com. Although each artist worked independently and without a theme, all managed to capture the sense of fear, anger and urgency engulfing them. Houston’s
Patrick McGrath Muñiz mixes metaphors borne of ancient Greek and Mayan mythology to comment on contemporary issues. [
