Rubin & Paula Torres Gallery
September 10, 2021 to February 6, 2022

Ester Hernandez (b.1944, CA) and Shizu Saldamando  (b.1978, CA) share a deep commitment to creating portraits. Utilizing paper, canvas, wood panel and cloth, they create sensitive drawings and paintings of a cross-section of people. Some portraits are intimate tributes to family members and friends. Others serve as social statements that bring visibility to invisible community and neighborhood residents. The exhibition provides a survey of their art across decades and from different cities, including recent portraits of each other never before exhibited.

Ester Hernández y Shizu Saldamando comparten un profundo compromiso con la creación de retratos. Mediante el uso de papel, lienzo, paneles de madera y tela, crearon dibujos sensibles y pinturas de una muestra representativa de personas. Algunos retratos son tributos íntimos a familiares y amigos. Otros son declaraciones sociales que hacen visible a los residentes de vecindarios y comunidades invisibles. La exhibición brinda una idea de su arte a través de las décadas y de diferentes ciudades. Esto incluye a retratos recientes de cada uno que nunca antes habían sido exhibidos.
