'Alejandro Diaz Sampler' covers fifteen years of the artist's career offering a rigorous overview of his practice. This exhibition focuses on his recent return to painting, while bringing together works that he dubs art history’s "greatest hits”, and the artist’s acclaimed, campy cardboard signs - which he began making and selling on the streets of Manhattan in the early 2000s- that later evolved into neon. Initially approaching Diaz’s work, humor and playfulness lure viewers in however, socio-economic boundaries reveal themselves as various layers begin to dissolve. The artist cleverly uses comic relief and entertainment as a form of artworld critique, resistance, and intervention. Utilizing everyday materials and common household items - glitter, trowels, doilies — he forges a rasquachismo aesthetic that not only empowers his Chicanx culture but creates a “populist” version of artworks that have become exploited through the expanse of the contemporary art market. Diaz fuses high and low art, using wit to turn ruling paradigms upside down.
