An out-of-the-ordinary art exhibition is on at the Museum of Modern Art in Santo Domingo.
Radhames Mejia’s exhibition “Bodies and the Geometry of Shade” is a tribute to Taino culture, which the artist says is a major source of inspiration for his work, whether in the form of renderings on canvas or on the skin of models. The exhibition features Mejia’s rendering on models photographed by Roberto Edwards in Santiago de Chile.
Regarded as one of the greats of contemporary Dominican art, Mejia won first prize in the 15th Biennial of Visual Arts, and first award for drawing in an E. Leon Jimenes art contest. The Museum of Modern Art is located on Av. Pedro Henriquez Urena, Plaza de la Cultura, and is open Tuesday to Sunday from 9am to 5pm.
