Patrociño Barela: I Stand On My Own Feet

The Roswell Museum pays homage to one of the most legendary, yet underrecognized creators of modern art in New Mexico’s history. Patrociño Barela’s short, but prolific, career transforming chunks of wood into abstract sculptures, touching on both spiritual and secular themes, is celebrated in the first of a series of exhibitions exploring the output of groundbreaking artists who made significant artistic contributions to our region.
