August 17 - September 22, 2024
From Lydia Street Gallery:
“New works by Luis Abreux and Jean-Pierre Verdijo exemplify their versatile mastery across various media, each distinctly characterized by its content and style. Despite their divergent approaches, both artists share a common thread in their creative ethos. Their inspirations, drawn from materials on hand, resonate deeply with reflections on challenging yet culturally enriched childhoods.
Luis Abreux’s journey through life under the Cuban dictatorship intertwines with Jean-Pierre Verdijo’s experience, shaped by navigating the landscapes of New York City’s hip hop, punk rock, and art galleries. These formative experiences have nurtured them into established artists whose works encapsulate the essence of existence itself. Through their art, they seek to connect with audiences, inviting them to explore personal reflections and discover shared human experiences within their creations. “
