Portraits of 'The Others' by Nathan Madrid

In this series, artist Nathan Madrid investigates our culture’s perception of “the other" and "otherness,” in-groups and out-groups, to expose how prescribed labels determine society’s behavior toward a social group because of race, gender, sex, class, and religion. 

Through his paintings, viewers are actively challenged to situate themselves in relation to those depicted, to embrace the diversity of others or marginalize them.
