Raised between Mexico and the United States, Moreno explores the complexities of cultural hybridity and belonging. <\/p>\n<p>His practice often incorporates references to art history, religious iconography, and Mexican symbolism, which he collides with science fiction, surreal imagery, and invented narratives. The result is a layered body of work that questions the grand historical narratives that shape people and culture, while also examining the nature of our own personal, individual storytelling.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Historia Sint\u00e9tica&#8221; centers on three major projects that demonstrate Moreno\u2019s desire to bring representational painting into the realms of sculpture, installation, and performance, and to create a theatrical experience of space and time.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition will remain on display through August 30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dallas Contemporary will present their spring exhibition, Francisco Moreno: &#8220;Historia Sint\u00e9tica.&#8221; It is the Dallas-based multimedia artist\u2019s first&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":238337,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[22212,102,104,103,13528,825,91590],"class_list":{"0":"post-238336","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-22212","9":"tag-dallas","10":"tag-dallas-headlines","11":"tag-dallas-news","12":"tag-exhibitions-visual-arts","13":"tag-galleries","14":"tag-occurrence202604171900"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=238336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238336\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/238337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
