¡Arte Fresca!/¡Fresh Art! : La Raza Galería Posada Announces Holiday
Bold and rhythmic, the brand new multi-ethnic, multi-artist exhibition set to open at Sacramento’s award-winning La Raza Galería features known iconic artists such as San Francisco’s Yolanda Lopez and Jesse Aguirre, plus area artists
Yolanda Lopez is world-renowned for her powerful “Virgin of Guadalupe” triptych explorations of her grandmother, her mother and herself as modern women role models. Jesse Aguirre’s stark red, black and white “Facing Faces” oils work complement
Special homage to some of the founders of La Raza Galería Posada come in the form of original pieces by Royal Chicano Air Force (RCAF) artists– Jack Alvarez’s dreamlike, curvilinear motifs, large vibrant color prints of photographer Rudy Cuellar and heritage “nichos” from Esteban Villa and Juan M. Carillo.
In a delightful example of La Raza’s community outreach –and how art reached back—the work of an unknown artist who walked into the November Second Saturday storefront last month will also be featured. According to Executive Director Marie Acosta,
“We are also including wonderful woodcut prints by a Mexican artist, Carlos Guzman, who joined us at our November Second Saturday. His work was so instantly popular that we have invited him back to demonstrate his wood cut/lithograph process to the public during the afternoon on Saturday December 12.”
Original oils, giclee prints, pen and inks, color silkscreens, and digital and woodcut prints will be priced to sell in both rooms of the midtown gallery. Special holiday shopping hours are set at 11 am-7 pm, Tuesday-Saturday, thru Dec. 23.
