Munson welcomes Colombian artist FELIPE LOPEZ as its 2023/24 Artist-in-Residence. Having just completed a Master of Fine Arts at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University, Felipe is trained as a traditional painter and draftsman.
“The residency reflects the creation of a community where I have the opportunity to teach and work through a multicultural lens, offering others a thoughtful and critical approach to the creative experience and the process of making art,” Felipe says. As a Colombian immigrant experiencing migration, he says he is drawn to the “idea of power structures left over from colonialism, how they relate across the history of our countries, and how their similarities, meanings and ideals linger on as symbols.”
As part of his residency, Felipe will teach two Pratt Munson courses in the fall, a Community Arts course in the fall and spring, and be a collaborator for Art Alive! family days at the Museum. Additionally, he will present an exhibition at the Pratt Munson Gallery in the spring.
