Gerardo Rosales

Gerardo Rosales (b. Venezuela, lives and works in Houston, TX) is a multidisciplinary artist whose vibrant, ornamental paintings draw from folk traditions, religious iconography, and decorative craft to explore the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality. His work has been exhibited widely across Latin America and the United States, including the Contemporary Art Museum Houston, The Moody Center, and the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Caracas, and is held in collections such as the McNay Art Museum, Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, and the Houston Endowment.
