Medel captures the vibrancy of his eastside neighborhood in works that range from intimate snapshots to expansive street scenes, always with the aim of distilling and preserving the ephemeral feelings and fleeing moments that make up a thriving community. These works also celebrate a bustling street culture that has suffered a summer of ICE raids and unrest, which has stolen a sense of security that will be slow to return. Medel captures the resilience and ingenuity of this community, preserving its small joys and hidden beauties as a reservoir of hope for tomorrow. _______ Neighbors, a group exhibition curated by Erick Medel.
