Testament of the Spirit: Paintings by Eduardo Carrillo highlights the creative efforts and social importance of Carrillo (1937-1997) as artist, teacher, scholar, and social activist. It showcases work created for three distinct realms: the public, the private, and the museum.
The artist’s murals are featured in the full-color, bilingual exhibition catalogue. Intimate watercolors and paintings describe the artist’s everyday life in self-portraits, still lifes, and images of people and places he held dear. Large-scale visionary paintings—Carrillo’s masterpieces—reveal his complex and creative mind. The exhibition also includes the bilingual video Eduardo Carrillo: A Life of Engagement by Pedro Pablo Celedón.
