Rixy‘s To Not Give a Mango’s Damn is currently on view in Vernacular Glamour.  

Vernacular Glamour brings together a cross-section of contemporary Latinx artists working with the visual vocabularies of camp, popular culture, high fashion, and baroque painting and architecture through vernacular idioms. Engaging the materials and forms of ball culture, advertising media, spiritual practices, and street art, the eight artists in Vernacular Glamour mobilize the artifice and exuberance of glamour to address the complexities of everyday life.

Rixy is an Interdisciplinary Explorer & Storyteller, building a world that reflects the complex sensuality of femininity; similar to the experiences within her Queer Latinx realm. By reinterpreting narratives of the womxnly forms in fluorescent connections, can the layers of our senses become stimulated, empowered, and deadly against the toxicity of Machismentos. Visions into this world of Cúcala and its inhabitants, are created through Public Muralism and Studio-Mixed Assemblages, based in Painting, Illustration, and Sculpture.

Rixy’s To Not Give a Mango’s Damn can be viewed in Vernacular Glamour at the Kathryn Schultz Gallery until February 19, 2022. For more information, click here.
