Gerardo Rosales is a Venezuelan artist who has lived and worked in Houston, Texas, since 2000. He creates paintings, murals and installations populated by hybrid figures that weave together myth, folk culture and political narratives, from the syncretic legends of Venezuela to the realities of displacement and migration. He painted "Sirenario" during his summer residency in Ménerbes, in the Luberon. He tells us about the creation of this work.

For IN SITU ART CLUB, Houston-based painter Howard Sherman looks back on the making of Teethmarks As Souvenirs, a 2022 canvas where gestural abstraction collides with cartoon figures and hard-edge geometry. He shares the instincts, the art history, and the sense of humor that hold the picture together.
