Lulu Del Sanchez A'16

One of Lulu Del Sanchez's paintings for the Adolfoland exhibit.

"My name is Lucia Del Sanchez, aka Lulu, class of 2016 School of Art.

This summer I had the outstanding opportunity to present my work at NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale. 

I mounted a solo exhibition that centers around the life and work of my late uncle Adolfo Rene Sanchez, a prolific Cuban painter who lived and worked in NYC until his untimely passing from AIDS related complications in 1990. 

My work developed from studying his work, and greater archive which I now manage with other immediate family. 

“ADOLFOLAND” is part of the program: Future Past Perfect. Curated by Bonnie Clearwater and Ariella Wolens."

The Adollfoland series of artwork from Lulu Del Sanchez A'16 for from the Future, Past Perfect program  can be viewed at the NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale from July 30, 2023 through October 15, 2023.

 

 

  • Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.

  • “My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,” Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, “knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep.”

  • From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.

  • Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
