The Armory Show

THE ARMORY SHOW 2023
Luis De Jesus Los Angeles Galleries Section
Booth 343 
Javits Center, New York

Luis De Jesus Los Angeles is pleased to announce our participation in The Armory Show 2023, Galleries Section, Booth 343. The fair runs September 8 through September 10, 2023 at the Javits Center. Featured artists include: Hugo Crosthwaite, June Edmonds, Ken Gonzales-Day, Sherin Guirguis, Hector Dionicio Mendoza, Griselda Rosas, Federico Solmi, Vian Sora, and Edra Soto.

Central to the presentation are works that explore themes of migration, personal, and cultural history, expressed through painting, sculpture, and mixed media. Sculptures by Hector Dionicio Mendoza, and paintings by Hugo Crosthwaite and Griselda Rosas are guided by their personal experiences of the US/Mexico border region and the legacies of colonialism on indigenous and mestizo cultures. Federico Solmi’s paintings and Ken Gonzales-Day’s drawings call into question revisionist histories, exploitative actions and racial injustice to disrupt the mythologies that define contemporary American society. Edra Soto’s performative sculptures prompt viewers to consider cross-cultural dynamics and make visible the role that African diasporic traditions play in Puerto Rican vernacular architecture.
