"Then, and Now, and Always: The Art of Nick Bustamante"

"Then, and Now, and Always: The Art of Nick Bustamante," presented by the Louisiana Art & Science Museum, explores Bustamante's career-long inquiry into memory, identity, and inheritance. Through his art, Bustamante explores the progression of non-linear time, probing ancestral trauma, familial legacy, and other intimacies as co-existing with beauty, terror, presence, and absence. The paintings on display undergo a process of layering, including scumbling, glazing, and selective excavation. lasm.org.
