Latino Gothic
This series of 20 paintings is the result of a solo show at Clemson University for Hispanic Heritage Month in 2004. Each painting tells a story of migration, exploitation and despair. Latino Gothic is a response to actually seeing Grant Wood’s “American Gothic” in Chicago. Latino Gothic explores the issue of a second-class subgroup of people in America. This series also presents some of the standard jobs that Latin@s are drafted to perform as a result of their migratory status. Latino Gothic tries to portray the many burdens that undocumented Latin Americans face when looking for a better future in the United States of America. Each piece is based on a famous painting of a European or Latin American master.
All pieces are 16 by 20 inches. Acrylic on canvas.
