PATRICIA SWEETOW GALLERY is excited to present Pilar Agüero-Esparza in her first one-person exhibition with the gallery.
Pilar is recognized for her installations, paintings, and objects reflecting the palette and politics of skin tone, specifically Brown and Black skin. Her paintings are a hybrid of formal, hard-edged geometric abstraction, accentuated by her coded color palette, intersecting with her family’s tradition of huarache-making (woven leather Mexican sandals). The paintings assume the direct, flat linear approach of geometric abstraction, but with a palette describing hierarchies of color, mitigated by woven leather. She extolls the craft and indigeneity of her family’s Mexican history, electrifying disparate and formidable concepts.
Opening Reception:
