DARIO S. BUCHELI: NOT WITHOUT A COST

Lawndale Art Center, Houston TX
February 27 - May 3, 2025

​Dario S. Bucheli presents Not Without a Cost, a site-specific painting in Lawndale’s Grace R. Cavnar Gallery. In his mural work, Bucheli seeks to elicit an embodied experience of symbolic, intuitive, and poetic thought that transcends rationalism. Further, the artist shares that his work reflects “cultural, political, and economic forces that define the contours of [the artist’s] experience living in the United States. The paintings bring together elements of pre-colonial Mexican codices, with references to contemporary American culture and politics. This interpretive process is also characterized by the desire to understand the present moment within the larger context of American history.”
