Rodriguez Calero: Urban Martyrs and Latter Day Santos: “The exhibition, curated by Alejandro Anreus, is a 30-year survey, focusing on Rodriguez Calero’s figurative work in the mediums of painting, collage, and photography. Rodríguez Calero’s aesthetic vision fuses figures of popular urban (hip hop) culture with Renaissance and mannerist religious motifs and iconography, and frames them in a visual tension that transcends their contemporary moment.” — El Museo del Barrio
