Contemporary Latinx painting in new release, 'Let Us Gather in a Flourishing Way'

Celebratory and serious, Let Us Gather in a Flourishing Way: Contemporary Latinx Painting opens this week at the Buffalo AKG Art Museum. Curated by Andrea Alvarez and representing the work of 58 Latinx artists based throughout the United States and Puerto Rico, it is a timely overview that “offers an antidote to the multiple forces that today pull people and cultures apart,” in the words of AKG Director Janne Sirén. Pictured here: “Garden Club” (2024) by Chicago-born, Okemos, Michigan-based artist and entrepreneur Lilian Martinez. Her specialty? Figures engaged in radical acts of everyday leisure. From the bilingual catalog.
