NEW YORK ARTIST M. TONY PERALTA DELVES INTO
CONTROVERSIAL TERRITORY FOR NEW ‘COMPLEJO’ EXHIBIT

Deeply Personal Works of Art Explore Issues of Skin Color, Hair Texture, Self-Esteem and What It Means to be ‘Latino’ and ‘Black’

For artist-designer Manuel Antonio Peralta, growing up as a dark-skinned Dominican in upper Manhattan’s Washington Heights/Inwood neighborhood, the child of Dominican immigrants, was an eye-opening experience.

It was these memories that fueled Peralta’s artistic process during the creation of COMPLEJO(‘COMPLEX’), a thought-provoking new exhibit of mixed-media silkscreens exploring complexes people of color have regarding hair texture, skin color, etc. The new work will be shown at the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance (NoMAA) Gallery.
