Paintings by Jacob Guzman
On View: April 20 - May 25
Reception: April 20, 7-9pm
In The World We Live In, Austin-based artist Jacob Guzman presents new paintings and drawings that respond to the social, political, economic, and environmental effects of urban development. In the wake of momentous social upheavals—migration, the COVID-19 pandemic, mass shootings, gentrification, widening income stratification, and housing unaffordability—the concept of ‘the city,’ its purpose, and its future has been called into question. The World We Live In explores many of these issues and considers how BIPOC individuals, under-resourced communities, and those facing economic hardships engage with their rapidly changing built-up surroundings.
