The works of multidisciplinary artist Gertrudis Rivalta are on exhibit for this, her first solo art show in New York City.
Five large canvas paintings and seven smaller dioramas are showcased as part of “Selected Pages,” an art show curated by University of Connecticut Professor Jacqueline Loss. The exhibit is on view at the Thomas Nickles Project gallery until April 24.
“To me we are living an illusion. We are not really free,” Rivalta explained in a recent interview. “I see Black people here, Black people in Cuba—we don’t have power. And when I say power, I mean presence. Power is to have presence. Other people don’t see us, they only see us from the same angle: we are never the intellectuals, the scientists. Instead, we are the dancers, we are the musicians, we do less consequential jobs.
Rivalta likes to juxtapose language and imagery so that they sometimes work together but at other times contrast to tell the viewer different messages.

NFT has always specialized in being a place that spotlights the creations of women and people of color and focuses on telling our stories.
