NEWS – The internationally acclaimed artist Carlos Rolón/Dzine creates
elaborately crafted paintings, ornate sculptures and works based on the
diaspora and custom culture that discuss personal and collective identity. The
work explores issues surrounding inclusion, beauty, craft-making and longing.
Rolón painstakingly illuminates how the masculine can become delicate and
baroque, minimal.

This
exhibition is a follow up to Rolón’s site-specific GHOST STORIES sculpture at
RAM; along with his GHOST BIKE PROJECT public art installation the sculpture
proved to be a profoundly moving, stirring conversation work that affected the
Midwest region and beyond. NOW AND THEN is Rolón’s first solo museum exhibition
in the Midwest, it remains on view through May 31 at RAM.
