THE YORK TIMES

| For his latest body of work, the artist Angel Otero reuses pieces of earlier paintings he has stored at his Brooklyn studio. |
Dressed in all black, in contrast to the radiant colors that surround him, the artist Angel Otero emanates warmth as he stands in his studio in Bushwick, Brooklyn, right off the high-spirited Avenue of Puerto Rico (also known as Graham Avenue). His expansive high-ceilinged work space is currently occupied by a group of sprawling mixed-media paintings — made partly from collaged cutout pieces from his earlier works — that will soon depart for his coming exhibition, “Milagros,” at Lehmann Maupin gallery in Manhattan.
“Angel Otero: Milagros” is on view from March 7 through April 20, 2019 at Lehmann Maupin gallery, 501 West 24th Street, New York.
