Municipal Painting

Over the past decade our painting practice has derived from a critical examination of a painting phenomenon that occurs in Puerto Rico, by which its municipalities paint their public infrastructure with bands of color: a geo-political, territorial painting manifestation that emerges from the public sector.

Through road trips and processes of encounter, documention, sampling and reproduction, our research on municipal painting creates a triangular bridge between landscape, painting and abstraction, while summoning contemporary notions of Caribbean identity and tropicality.

Works from this research materialize as paintings, photographic documentation, territorial “insertions” and digital collage.
