Fences | Artwork of Antonio Lechuga


Love Texas Art

Love Texas Art is honored to present Fences, a solo exhibition of works by Dallas based artist, Antonio Lechuga from May 21 – July 17, 2022. The exhibition will be on display at the new Love Texas Art gallery located at 501 Houston Street, Fort Worth, Texas 76107, with an opening reception on Saturday, May 21, 2022 from 5-8pm. The opening reception coincides with gallery openings at Bale Creek Allen Gallery and Dang Good Candy in Sundance Square on May 21.

Fences by Antonio Lechuga showcases sculpture and paintings that depict the architectural fence pattern transforming and using the fence structure as a metaphor to discuss immigration issues along the Mexican American border. His vibrant and colorful new works reimagine the symbol of the fence, utilizing it in protest that focuses on unity and healing.  Lechuga wraps his latticework structures with vivid “Cobijas”, enveloping the usually cold, unloved fences in warmth, comfort and security. In addition to the sculptures, Fences will include paintings that accompany and inform the large-scale three-dimensional works.
