Coming to our Printed Image Gallery this Friday, October 18, 2024: Marta Sánchez: Retablos and images of the loved. Join us from 6:00 – 8:00 PM to celebrate Marta and her solo exhibition. Light refreshments served.
Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, Marta Sánchez is a painter and printmaker living in Philadelphia. She identifies as Chicana and makes portraits of family members and loved ones on sheets of metal, building on the tradition of the Mexican retablos. Her works on paper are mostly linocuts, monotypes and serigraphs, which look to the example of the great Mexican printmakers of the twentieth century. She draws on their commitment to express the emotions of social content.
Marta Sánchez: Retablos and images of the loved will be on view through January 10, 2025. Curated by William Valerio, The Patricia Van Burgh Allison Director and CEO of Woodmere Art Museum.
