ARTWORK BY FRED VILLANUEVA (via ahhatulsa.org)
Our guest is the Dallas-based artist Fred Villanueva, whose exhibition titled The Trayectorias (or the trajectory, or the path ) is on view at ahha in downtown Tulsa through February 21st. This show, per the ahha website, presents past artistic explorations that Villanueva has re-mixed to create new paintings, drawings, and installations. Drawing on Mexican traditions of Altares (Altars) and folkloric dance, Villanueva s series of installations bring together a cohesive vision of a seemingly disjointed world.and suggest a hidden, surrealist world beyond what is immediately visible.. Villanueva strives to find unity and common ground among contemporary indigenous art forms that honor tribal traditions in a post-colonial world.
