Paul Soto Gallery presents an exhibition of paintings by Roberto Márquez, curated by Donald Ryan. Márquez’s first New York City exhibition features self-portraits set in the city from 1989 to today. His works explore urban subjectivity, movement, and the tension between past and present. Drawing from literature, myth, and art history, he creates scenes that feel both vivid and dreamlike. Through rich textures and realism, he captures the city's overwhelming presence while reflecting on identity and place.
