Have you seen it yet? Artist Cande Aguilar is showing “It’s only barrioPOP but I like it” at the grayDUCK Gallery here in Austin!
*
This exciting and energetic showcase of color, shape, and design is a wonderful wakeup call out of Winter and into Spring!
*
“barrioPOP therefore can be understood as pop art through a particular south Texas, Mexican American lens that takes us on a ride that might not be posh, but it will get us there with its own unique style. Cande's work is rooted in a Rio Grande Valley, "pull yourself up from your bootstraps and make do with what you have,” kind of feel that translates well through his use of found objects.”
*
This show cannot be missed so make sure you add it to your to-do list! Make an appointment on the grayDUCK website and also find an audio file of artist Cande Aguilar at the bottom of the exhibition page where he talks about his work!
