Franck de las Mercedes is an acclaimed contemporary artist, poet & street photographer born in Masaya, Nicaragua.Featuring works on papers from FdlM's ???????? ?????? and a Peace Boxes installation, the exhibit will be opened June 3rd through July 2nd, 2023. The show examines the disintegration of family structures and dynamics brought upon by war, trauma, migration, and loss. Often referencing revealing aspects of his own childhood, history, current events, and contemporary culture, FdlM's work delves into the fractures that take place in the family unit and the profound impact that sociopolitical and cultural shifts can have in altering their lives and impairing their relationship. Constructed from an inventory of drawings, journal pages, photographs and found ephemera, each composition invites the viewer into a space where artistic inquiry and documentation leads to self-discovery, understanding and finding common ground. The show also includes an installation of acclaimed "Peace Boxes." The Peace boxes are being painted for the Governors Island solo exhibition in support of "New York Latin American Art Triennial - NYLAAT" For more information visit: nylaat.org
