Please join us for the Opening Reception of:

LGBTIQ+ in the Jungle

A solo exhibition by Arturo Lizcano – DiAVolo

On view at the Bureau from February 23 – May 5, 2024

 

Artist’s statement:

“I’m interested in portraying members of the LGBTIQ+ community from another perspective. I wanted to portray people from the community who inspire me for the way they live. They are not famous, but they are powerful, brave, they accept themselves, and confront the world and its prejudices.

“For this particular series, I put them in the jungle. I selected birds, fish, and felines from the Amazon jungle and the entire Colombian Andean region. The plants in my maternal grandmother’s garden were the main source of inspiration – the greens and flowers found in Huila.”
