Artist Daniel Lezama, Mexico’s provocateur From: latimes.com
Tagged: MexicoPosted on: June 30th, 2008
WHICH adjective best fits the work of painter Daniel Lezama?
Alluring? Repellent? Classical? Irreverent? Misunderstood?
While critics extol his daring and originality, Lezama, 40, makes certain gallery owners squeamish and collectors nervous. His typically large-scale works are imposing in their size and complexity, startling in their frank depictions of frequently nude, mainly working-class Mexicans (including children) engaged in activities that are simultaneously violent and sordid, touching and tender.”*
