The Fridge will present a group show featuring the DC Latino Art Collective whose artists draw their inspiration from Kahlo, Rivera, Dali and Picasso. "The DC Latino Collective is more than your typical art collective – they’re a family. The Collective is part of a larger, tight-knit community of artists creating poetry, music, plays, paintings and more. These artists represent the creative community coming out of the Columbia Heights, Adams Morgan and Mount Pleasant neighborhoods for the past 30 years."
The DC Latino Collective is brothers Mauricio Lopez and UNJUANTED (Juan Lopez) and their compatriot Vicente Herrera. The artists will present 30 new paintings on canvas in styles such as surrealism and abstract expressionism, inspired by artists including Picasso, Salvador Dali, Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. The works express wonder, family, memories. You’ll be struck first by the rich colors – the art is saturated with crimson, olive, saffron, indigo – and the distinct viewpoint of each artist, rooted in their shared histories.
