Museums + Galleries
Construct: Our Orlando
In the third iteration of the Mennello's Construct: Our Orlando group show, curators pulled up two locals: Don Rimx and art collective Lemon Press. Don Rimx, known for large-scale murals celebrating Afro-Caribbean and Puerto Rican culture, brought his maximalist, multi-layered approach to portraiture for this show, with symbols, color and motifs inspired by the convergence of African diasporic religions and Catholicism. Lemon Press (Anna Cruz and Adam Lavigne) combine painting, cartooning and installation to address time and memory – something we are all wrestling with in this bizarre locked-down pandemic year – recording 2020's loss and potential through a fictional language inspired by hieroglyphs and other ancient systems of communication. $5. Through Jan. 10, 2021. Mennello Museum of American Art, 900 E. Princeton St., mennellomuseum.org
