Bernardo Diaz: Writing On The Wall

MECA presents an exhibition by Bernardo Diaz – Writing On The Wall, opening June 6 and on view through July 11.  Closing reception, Friday July 11, 7pm – 9pm.

A first generation Mexican-American, Bernardo Diaz was born in Rochelle IL in 1983 and was raised in Eagle Pass, a Southwest Texas town on the border with Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico. Diaz's work explores notions of access and currently works around three main conceptual frameworks: embellishment, omission, and revision. His work manifests in the form of paintings, drawings, text, socially engaged projects, and discreet conversations.
