Refined Reflections into the Formidable: Contemporary Latino Art from the Zoe Diaz Collection

Riley Carroll, Arts & Life Editor

Refined Reflections into the Formidable: Contemporary Latino Art from the Zoe Diaz Collection features twenty-three artists whose works span a broad range of approaches in exquisite large-scale and intimate paintings, drawings, photographs, and mixed-media sculptures regarding themes of power and pride in community legacies, spirituality, family, and everyday life. This remarkable collection demonstrates the strength of Latino cultural and artistic traditions across generations of established and emerging artists. Virtuosic artistic practices open conversations regarding the interplay of cultural references, artists’ individual experiences and considerations, and viewers’ own reflections and dreams.

The Diaz collection has been exhibited in museums and galleries across the US and internationally. The work of several San Antonio and Texas-based artists will be exhibited along with those from elsewhere.”
