Fitting in, standing out
Manuel Fernando Rios has his first solo show at Axis Gallery
“Acceptance by Any Means” by Manuel Fernando Rios, aerosol and oil on wood panel, 2013.
The first month of 2015 marks the first solo show for Manuel Fernando Rios at Axis Gallery. Acceptance is the theme of the West Sacramento-based artist's work for this collection, called Get In Where You Fit In. Rios' background in screen-printing presents itself in his paintings and collages, combining the flatness of geometric and abstract forms with figures, resulting in intriguing contrasts. His work doesn't just fit in with the local art scene—it stands out.
