Downtown
Luis De Jesus Los Angeles throws an opening art party to celebrate new exhibitions. These include: Edra Soto: los ojos del viento (the eyes of the wind), and also Joshua Nazario Lugo: Allá Afuera (Out There). The title los ojos del viento (“the eyes of the wind”) references both the etymology of “window” (from the Latin ventus, wind) and the metaphor of architectural openings as sites of observation, passage, and exchange. Throughout the exhibition, windows, screens, and thresholds operate as formal and conceptual devices—structures that frame vision while signaling movement, migration, and communication.
This is the Joshua Nazario Lugo’s first solo exhibition outside of Puerto Rico. The self taught artist will include both paintings and sculptures developed during his residency in Santa Monica, CA. The title “Allá afuera” (out there) references a common phrase used among Puerto Ricans to refer to the U.S. in relation to those who have left the island. Both exhibitions will run through April 11, 2026; Art Party: 4-7pm; Luis De Jesus Los Angeles, 1110 Mateo St, Los Angeles, CA 90021; https://www.luisdejesus.com/
