May Exhibit at Newpark Mall's Cultural Corner - Celebrating Cinco de Mayo
Local artist Diego Marcial Rios will be the featured artist celebrating Cinco de Mayo. During the exhibit, Rios will be painting a portable 5' x 9' mural doing a live art demonstration. The exhibit and demonstration is free and open to the public.
Described as "Chicano Art", Rios' pieces on display will reflect strong Hispanic themes and iconography. His artwork is a reflection of both positive and negative forces he sees and feels in society. The complex imagery in the art is comprised of both ancient and modern symbolism. Rios' artwork illustrates many social-economic problems faced by contemporary society.
