Mateo Romero The Cultural Power of Native Art Series

Join us for a talk and discussion about Romero’s paintings, which reflect a pattern of evolution and change through powerful and imposing swirling gestural paint marks and drips. Overall, Romero’s work evokes a rhythmic, hypnotic, trancelike feeling which is referential to the metaphysical space of the Pueblo and the dance itself. Represented by Blue Rain Gallery, Romero’s work is in the collection of the Denver Art Museum, Smithsonian NMAI, and the School for Advanced Research.
