Opening August 5th, ArtXchange Gallery is proud to present Estrellas del Norte Al Sur [Stars from North to South], our debut solo exhibition featuring Oaxacan-American artist Fulgencio Lazo. Lazo is an internationally recognized artist whose vibrant abstract paintings and sculptures are an exploration of cultural identity and the power of community. Iconographic motifs and symbolic representations that are characteristic of his Zapotec heritage, like masks, candles, toys, and musical instruments, are symbols for the shared experiences that strengthen and define a culture that celebrates family and community.
