KANSAS CITY STAR

MISSOURI - A new show at Cara and Cabezas Contemporary gallery will pair monoprints by San Francisco-based Victor Cartagena with etchings by Kansas City artist Nicholas Naughton. Cartagena, a native of El Salvador, “makes a lot of installations that comment on war, violence and immigration,” says Cara Lewis, the gallery’s curator. “These prints kind of reference that, but they’re more like interior maps exploring the human condition with simple symbols and references.” The monoprints focus on heads and faces, rendered in profile and enhanced by elements of Chine colle. Leading Mexican American artist Enrique Chagoya characterized them as “a spiritual journey in search of identity.” [link]
