The Nassau County Museum of Art is proud to present the first solo exhibition in the tri-state region by the acclaimed young artist Andres Valencia (b. 2011). Known for his bold use of color and expressive, Cubist-inspired portraits, Valencia creates dynamic works that blend homage and innovation — echoing Picasso, George Condo, and Francisco Goya, while establishing a voice entirely his own. In Valencia’s painterly universe, bold color and fractured anatomy collide with playful distortion and sharp line, yielding images that feel both indebted to art history and defiantly new. On view will be more than a dozen striking three-quarter-profile portraits, each reflecting the artist’s fascination with fractured forms and emotional intensity.
Profiles in Color celebrates a remarkable emerging talent whose imagination and skill continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
