Francisco Donoso

Winter Workspace 2013
Glyndor Gallery | January 2 – March 24, 2013 

Francisco Donoso is one of Wave Hill’s 2013 Van Lier Visual Artist Fellows. Born in Ecuador and raised in Miami, he has been living in New York City since graduating from college. His work explores the hybrid space in which he exists as an immigrant, creating paintings that re-contextualize imagery and symbols from contemporary American pop culture, Spanish Baroque painting, Latin American textiles and Pre-Colombian patterning. During Winter Workspace, he will create paintings and drawings that study the figure in the landscape. Donoso is also one of the founders of Co-Lab, a multi-disciplinary artist collaborative that creates performances which explore the intersection of visual art, dance and new media. Donoso received his BFA from Purchase College, State University of New York in 2011.
