“Mercado”/ Market – Gabriel Gonzales, Stan Padilla, Ray Gonzales and Friends

About the Show

"Mercado" translates into market. In many countries the mercado is where artists and artisans present and sell their works on the street and on plazas in an informal setting. This small group exhibit's focus is to display smaller, intimate and more affordable works that often are instrumental in sustaining an artist's livelihood.

Included is Stan Padilla's installation, "La Naturaleza". Altar-like with the the theme of the natural spirit. His paintings are created with handmade plants and minerals.
