New Art Exhibition Spotlights Interdisciplinary Works by Local South Florida artist, Patricia Schnall Gutierrez in a Solo Exhibition at the Burchfield Penney Museum in Buffalo NY.

Buffalo NY, Opening on May 10, 2024, from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. Patricia Schnall Gutierrez: Remember Me will explore six decades of the multidisciplinary artist's narratives in the Project Space.

Working in sculpture, installation, film, collage, and performance, Patricia Schnall Gutierrez's work interplays between past and present to consider fresh perspectives on the narratives that shape women's lives. Through interrogating her own identities as a woman, artist, mother, and wife, as well as the realities of others in these roles, the exhibition explores the intersections, tension, acceptance, and challenges of these identities and the experiences they entail.

Schnall Gutierrez relocated from the NY metropolitan area to South Florida in 2007. She is a former resident artist of the Bakehouse Art Complex and Fountainhead Studios. She currently has an independent warehouse studio in downtown Hollywood.

The Burchfield Penney Art Center is the museum dedicated to the art and vision of Charles E. Burchfield and the art and artists of Buffalo, NY, and the state region.
