José Lerma Relator con Amargura

Internationally acclaimed Puerto Rican artist José Lerma presents ‘Relator con Amargura’, his first panoramic exhibition on the island.

The Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (MAPR), is pleased to announce the opening of the panoramic exhibition 'Relator con Amargura', by Puerto Rican artist José Lerma. The show, which consists of more than 60 works of various formats, techniques and stylistic stages, is presented at the Helen Ann French Gallery and the Bertita and Guillermo L. Martínez Gallery. 

"This exhibition shows for the first time the complexity of an exceptional Puerto Rican artist who, following the legacy of previous generations of artists, opted for painting at a time when the international art circuit - where José Lerma moves to the full - was turning its gaze to other media that were less complex and less immediate to execute. He has thus demonstrated how tradition can be united with contemporary research", said María C. Gaztambide, executive director of MAPR.
