SUMMARY:(Partner Event) José Jun Martínez: At the centre there is a stillness
DESCRIPTION:Cecilia Brunson Projects is pleased to present José Jun Martínez: At the centre there is a stillness\, the Puerto Rican artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery\, opening during London Gallery Weekend 2026. The gallery will host an exhibition walkthrough with the artist on Saturday\, 6 June at 5.00pm.\n\nBringing together a new body of monumental paintings made in London and informed by years of immersion within the tropical river landscapes of Puerto Rico\, the exhibition reflects on return\, estrangement\, and the unstable space between memory and perception. Martínez approaches painting not as description\, but as a form of bodily encounter. Rivers\, dense vegetation\, rainfall\, humidity\, and shifting light are translated into fractured compositions where electric ultramarines\, acid greens\, earthy browns\, and synthetic flashes of colour pulse between figuration and dissolution. The works emerge from what the artist describes as the contradictory sensation of returning to a landscape that feels at once intimately familiar and suddenly strange.\n\nCentral to the exhibition is a series of large-scale diptychs and triptychs in which an intense ultramarine blue moves across the surface like both water and apparition. For Martínez\, colour itself carries psychological and political charge. Drawn partly from the contested blues of the Puerto Rican flag\, the paintings hold competing emotional registers of belonging and displacement. Branches and leaves repeatedly cut across the compositions\, obstructing clear vision and destabilising perspective. Rather than presenting landscape as something distant or fixed\, Martínez constructs immersive sensory environments shaped by sound\, rainfall\, bodily disorientation\, and overstimulation. Influenced by the writings of Heraclitus and by reflections on “re-entry” after distance or exile\, the paintings meditate on the impossibility of returning unchanged\, asking how both land and self continue to transform through time.\n \nJosé Jun Martínez (b. 1992) received a BA in Fine Arts from the University of Puerto Rico\, Río Piedras\, and an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art\, London\, where he was awarded the Valerie Beston Artists’ Trust Prize in 2024. Recent solo exhibitions include The Hymn of the Toads (Matt Carey-Williams\, London\, 2025)\, Interludio del Viento (Galería Leyendecker\, Tenerife\, 2025)\, and Hermano de las Flores (Museo de San Juan\, San Juan\, 2025).

SUMMARY:(Partner Event) Mesoamerican Pop: Paintings and Drawings by Miguel Trelles
DESCRIPTION:About the show: Miguel Trelles’ ongoing painting series\, MESOAMERICAN POP\, addresses the compelling beauty of figurative pre-Columbian drawing and sculpture\, combining it with North American pop culture elements from the sequential art tradition to formulate a Pan American visual syncretism that is as visually arresting as it is historically encompassing.

SUMMARY:(Partner Event) Opening Reception of ALMA: Echoes of the Nuyorican Movement
DESCRIPTION:Taller Boricua presents ALMA: Echoes of the Nuyorican Movement\, an exhibition honoring over five decades of Puerto Rican artistic expression and cultural resistance. Founded in 1969\, Taller Boricua has been a vital hub for Puerto Rican artists in New York\, offering a space for creative freedom and activism. The exhibition showcases key works from the iconic 30th Anniversary Portfolio\, which pairs visual art and poetry by notable Nuyorican artists\, reflecting the intersection of culture\, identity\, and social justice. The portfolio includes work by Rafael Tufiño\, Diogenes Ballester\, Gloria Rodriguez (RoCa)\, Nitza Tufiño\, Fernando Salicrup\, Marcos Dimas\, and Juan Sanchez\, alongside poets Jesús Papoleto Meléndez\, Pedro Pietri\, Tania Niomi\, María Boncher\, Hector Rivera\, y Mariposa (María Teresa Fernández Rosario).\n\nThe exhibition also features new works by current members of the Rafael Tufiño Printshop\, ensuring that the traditions of Puerto Rican printmaking continue to thrive. These contemporary pieces highlight the ongoing relevance of themes like resistance\, identity\, and community\, which have defined the Nuyorican movement for over five decades. Current printshop’s participating printmakers include Minerva Gonzalez Suvidad\, Albert Justiniano\, Betty Cole\, James Cuebas\, Eliezer Berrios\, Carmen Ayala\, Mariana Ayala\, Oliver Ríos\, Felix Plaza\, George Malave\, and Ada Pilar Cruz.\n\nThis exhibition is open through March 30th with an artist talk on March 1st at 2pm. \n\nThis year\, The Latinx Project at New York University has been at the forefront of exploring Nuyorican and Diasporican histories\, with the forthcoming book Nuyorican and Diasporican Visual Art: A Critical Anthology (Duke University Press)\, edited by Arlene Dávila and Yasmin Ramirez\, and their exhibition RicanVisions: Global Ancestralities and Embodied Futures\, (January 31 – May 2) which features the work of 19 contemporary Nuyorican and Diasporican artists. While distinct\, this exhibition at Taller Boricua resonates with The Latinx Project’s efforts to focus on the Diasporican experience. Together\, these initiatives highlight the ongoing evolution and expansion of the Nuyorican identity and art. We invite visitors to attend The Latinx Project’s programming and explore these rich narratives\, gaining complete insight into this moment of reflection and connection and engaging with the evolving futures of the Nuyorican and Diasporican communities.\n\nTaller Boricua Galleries: 1680 Lexington Avenue\, Harlem\, NYC\, New York 10029. (In between 106 and 105th St on Lexington Ave) Free Admission. Accessible for individuals with disabilities.

SUMMARY:(Partner Event) Our Love is a Shady Garden
DESCRIPTION:Yanira Vissepó blends painting\, natural dyes\, block printing and collage in her practice which centers around the study and celebration of the ecosystems between her birthplace in Puerto Rico and adopted home in Tennessee. The naturally dramatic landscape of Puerto Rico’s tropical rainforest and saturated colors in native plant life merge with the striking change of seasons seen in Tennessee\, creating lush and vibrant paintings. Vissepó uses organic materials and natural pigments\, drawing from Japanese printmaking traditions. Both the materials and imagery speak to her long-time interest in herbalism and holistic healing that began as an important means of self-care before manifesting in her artistic practice. Generous swaths of blue\, green and red are created using a stain painting method that add depth and texture to the surface\, with collaged floral and plant images delicately stitched onto the canvas or fabric.
