Farley Aguilar: Immunity and Discord

HOW Art Museum is pleased to announce that the solo exhibition Immunity and Discord of artist Farley Aguilar, will be on view from August 10, 2024 to October 13, 2024. The exhibition will feature 21 paintings by the artist.

Artist Farley Aguilar's work features a transformation based on the reflection and consideration of the same issues from different perspectives. His solo exhibition Sauvage Effete focused on the Western ruling class and the upper-class individuals living during the Edwardian era. Following this, his solo exhibition Fur and Flood used the themes of fur, representing luxurious wealth, and flood, symbolizing uncontrollable external disasters, to highlight the lives of people struggling to survive after the first Industrial Revolution in Britain. In his new solo exhibition Immunity and Discord at the HOW Art Museum, Aguilar comprehensively presents the living conditions of people from different Western social classes. Aguilar examines the relationship between individuals and communities through the lens of leisure activities, using paintings to bridge the past and present and provoke thoughts on issues such as skin color, race, gender, and social balance, so as to explore human commonality.
