“Works of Andres Chaparro bear a remarkable insight into a cultural phenom from 1950's and 60's Expressionist traditions. The phenom, which grew out of historical revelations called Afro-Latino, date back centuries untold yet define his artistic and cultural qualities today."

Inspired by a text for taken from a novel written by a former soldier: "The future lied to us, there long ago in the past," this exhibition confronts the false guarantees that what were once the celebrated wars of this country's history would always be both remembered and justified.

Stephen Brown: Legacy A 'must see' exhibit.
I had the honor to study under the guidance of Stephen during my MFA studies at U of H. His wisdom, patience, humor, expertise, and belief in my abilities made me the artist I am today. I still hear his words of encouragement when I work and know so many amazing artists because of his direction. He is forever my mentor.
