Details
Louis Buhl & Co. pleased to present a new print edition with artist Tiffany Alfonseca, titled Amantes. Alfonseca is a Bronx-based Dominican-American mixed media artist who creates vibrant and colorful artworks that celebrate Black and Afro-Latinx diasporic culture. Alfonseca continuously taps into her Afro-Dominican roots and leverages it as a conceptual cantilever that provides a dynamic framework for her artistic practice. Her work aims to visually articulate that the Black and Afro-Latinx diaspora does not exist within a monolith, but that these communities are a cultural cornucopia that is vast, varied, and complex.
When you consider a history where Black and Brown bodies are constantly on guard, Alfonseca’s work serves as a safe space teeming with beauty and joy. Amantes, meaning “Lovers” in English, depicts two companions sharing an intimate and soft embrace. Says Alfonseca: “Growing up, I never really saw romantic, loving, healthy relationships in my environment or in the Black and Brown community. I mostly grew up seeing or knowing a lot of single mothers or dysfunctional relationships and marriages. As an adult, I know a healthy and loving relationship is something I have always wanted to attain. The older I get, the more I admire love, and Amantes is a moment I feel can describe that.” In addition to the regular edition of 30 prints, Aflonseca has created a special color variant edition limited to ten prints.
