From Garth Greenan Gallery's press release:

Garth Greenan Gallery is pleased to present Esteban Cabeza de Baca: Alma, an exhibition of recent paintings about family, community, and resistance. Cabeza de Baca started the series with observational paintings of the Mexican cloth dolls and Kachina dolls given to him by his mother. By working with the repeated imagery of these dolls, Cabeza de Baca reimagines these figures in the landscape of his father’s ancestral home in New Mexico. These dolls, and the resulting paintings, reflect memories from the artist’s childhood— stories of growth, migration, resistance, liberation, and solidarity. For Cabeza de Baca, this series is about radical futures rooted in imagery that flows from childhood to the present, in la alma, “the soul.”
