As the year draws to a close, so do many of Brooklyn’s art installations, including Juan Sánchez’s ¿What’s The Meaning of This? exhibition at the BRIC House Gallery.
Sánchez, a native Brooklynite, Nuyorican (Puerto Rican New Yorker) and widely influential Latino artist, has had his first Brooklyn solo exhibition on display since November 6, but it will be coming down later this week, on December 27.
The mixed-media installation explores Sánchez’s populist beliefs and activism through large paintings from some of his major series. These include pieces from Cries and Wounded Whispers, a tribute to sacrificed lives that depicts Dominican political victims and sisters the Mirabal sisters, among others.
There are also collaged works, homages to Sánchez’s mother, and other attempts by the artist to make painting relevant in the 21st century.
The free exhibit is open to the public for just one more week, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday at 647 Fulton Street.
