Paradigm Gallery is pleased to present Fresh Cut Fruit, a solo exhibition of new works by mixed-media artist Justin Favela. Fresh Cut Fruit features artworks rendered in paper, including piñata-style paintings, sculptures, and a large-scale mural, which directly reference 19th and 20th century Latin American still lifes. Through a reinterpretation of these references, Favela reveals the settler-colonial infrastructure embedded within the visual representations of fruit and landscapes. The artist’s paper renditions reclaim power and identity from the canonically imperial bodies of work they reference. Fresh Cut Fruit will be open to the public from March 25 to April 17, 2022, with an opening reception on Friday, March 25, from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM.
