We are thrilled to announce that HESSE FLATOW now represents Luis Edgar Mejicanos!
At the heart of Mejicanos’ narrative-driven works is a fascination with painting and its potent ability to convey and elicit emotion. Influenced by the work of literary figures such as Jorge Luis Borges, Octavia Butler, and Gabriel García Márquez, as well as the iconographic conventions of Early Netherlandish and Northern Italian Renaissance portraiture, Mejicanos builds his compositions with his singular lexicon of allegorical imagery, striking a careful balance between intrigue and intelligibility.
Luis Edgar Mejicanos (b. 1995, Miami, FL) studied at Fordham University in NewYork City, where he earned a Dual BA in Visual Arts and Art History. He attended the renowned Yale Norfolk Summer School of Art and Music in 2018, and Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2023. He has participated in art residencies, including the Vermont Studio Center, the Wassaic Project, and The Lighthouse Works. Mejicanos has exhibited in New York City, Miami, and Chicago.
