The Artists Roundtable: Angel Otero

MA Curatorial Practice presents a talk with Angel Otero. Otero’s practice spans painting, collage, and sculpture, through which he experiments with innovative techniques to create abstract works centered on memory, identity, and lived experiences. He is best known for his Oil Skin works, where oil paint is applied to glass and peeled off to create layers that are reassembled into new images. Probing the boundaries of figuration and abstraction, Otero’s recent works serve as psychological anchors for his explorations into the ambiguous and magical. His works are included in the collections of the Bronx Museum of the Arts, Bronx, NY; DePaul Art Museum, Chicago; Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City, MO; Margulies Collection, Miami, FL; Speed Art Museum, Louisville, KY; Istanbul Modern; and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, NY. He divides his time between New York and Puerto Rico.

The Artists Roundtable, an international forum for leading practitioners, is hosted by Kate Fowle, faculty member of the MA Curatorial program at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
