Broken Record

Broken Record stems from Angel Otero’s abstract recollections of his childhood in Puerto Rico.

A trio of luminous blue chairs stand in for the artist’s family members – calling to notions of presence, absence and a universal domestic familiarity. In a return to the intuitive gestures used to create the original painting, each print from the edition has been uniquely hand-finished in Otero’s New York studio.

"These are not necessarily stories that I feel have a beginning and an end, or a subject that needs to be addressed. It’s more like using my work as a trampoline towards a self-thought or a self-question – of ourselves."
