Luis Cruz Azaceta, I Can’t Breathe, 2020, Acrylic on canvas.
Over the course of the last four decades, multi-media New Orleans artist Luiz Curz Azaceta has used art as a way to process the world around him—the violence, war, racism, environmental collapse, pandemic, oppression. Viewing his work as a weapon for change, he works in the realms of figurative expressionism and narrative abstraction, presenting large scale artworks instantly recognizable for their "highly charged color and narrative depth". Luiz Cruz Azaceta: What a Wonderful World, on display at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, brings together a works from 1975–2021 in the artist's largest retrospective exhibition yet. ogdenmuseum.org.
