ALVARO BARRINGTON

The artist emphasizes how his work focuses on celebrating communities in the ways they represent themselves and through their cultural languages. The intersections between heterogeneous materials, expressive languages, and visual references define an unconventional approach to artistic practice. His painting breaks past the physical boundaries of the canvas, to inhabit the space of everyday life, vibing to the rhythm of hip hop. Core themes of his research include cultural identity and references to figures and events of the African diaspora.
