About

Eastern Projects is pleased to present "Pinturas Pandemia!", an exhibition of new paintings by John M. Valadez. This is Valadez's second solo exhibition with the gallery, and the first solo exhibition at the gallery since Covid-19 shutdown much of the country.

Artist statement
The majority of the work was made during our collective pandemic experience. Some began before the virus hit.
Some of the work themes cover travels I’ve had and travels thwarted since we are all banned in Europe. The paintings cover multiple themes and ideas, figuration, indigenous contrast, history, and burlesque.
May a vaccine liberate us all and we can reacquaint ourselves with creative and subversive normalcy.
