Excerpts from Alvaro Barrington's artist statement My life is not memories rather their narratives ive told myself about myself Figuring it out is hard and I’m sorry Racism Shadism Classism colorist sexism Patriarch decentering whiteness No Fucks Given/ The Marathon continues/ Art is about learning how to be, Painting is about what's in front of you, it's about learning to see/ 'Artist should not look to the right or left. Art should be strong and non-conformist and most importantly should always be personal.’ I rather fail on my ideas than succeed on someone else I love that shit too much for you to not care Shit ive been through will probably offend you this is Emeldas older son It was authentic at the beginning after a while it became something that was more constructedSome of the most beautiful prose poetry are done by people who are just grieving and what they produce is just joy
