Eduardo Guzmán Valverde: Colors of My Land

Friday, September 6 – Wednesday, October 30

Mary Wojtecki Rotunda Gallery

Originally from Oaxaca, Oaxaca, Guzman Valverde is a multidisciplinary artist with a career of more than 20 years with national and international exhibitions. Since 1997, he has had 31 solo exhibitions in galleries and public spaces. His work highlights Oaxacan folklore and traditions, and it was chosen as the main image of events such as Centenario de la Noche de Rábanos (radish night century) and the Guelaguetza in 2008.

His exhibition, Colors of my Land, transports us to the landscapes and traditions of Oaxaca. It offers a space for people who have migrated from Oaxaca, who often feel homesick when they are far from their traditions that are part of their identity. The works on display reflect the richness and cultural diversity of the state and its eight regions.
