EXHIBITION

Vincent Valdez: The Strangest Fruit

David Winton Bell Gallery, Brawn University, North Carolina, Providence, 10/19/2013 - 12/08/2013

ABOUT

Vincent Valdez is a San Antonio-based artist and accomplished draughtsperson in many mediums. Distinguished for their realism, his paintings and drawings are metaphorical compositions that critique social and political orders. His most recent body of work, The Strangest Fruit (2013), places realistic depictions of people known by the artist within an historical subject—the lynching of Latinos in the United States—metaphorically illustrating the persecution and oppression felt by contemporary Latino Americans in the United States. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Valdez has exhibited extensively in Texas, the Midwest, the Southwest, and Los Angeles. This exhibition marks his solo debut on the East Coast.
