Javier Arreguin Villegas + Miguel Montaño
Visual Art
"Lupita Crossing the Border / Homeland Security Angels" by Javier Arreguin Villegas is on view at The Hill Street Country Club through Aug. 20, 2021.
Javier Arreguin Villegas' exhibition "Anticuado" will close with a reception at The Hill Street Country Club on Saturday, but Villegas is sharing the stage with his mentor, Miguel Montaño, with a pop-up exhibition of Montaño's works, "Mirada Incidental."
Montaño lives in Ciudad Azteca, Mexico, and uses collage, found objects and sculpture to explore consumer capitalism and its role, particularly in his own city. Villegas' work showcases powerful stories of fatherhood, identity and immigration. His xylographic woodcuts are powerful and vivid.
