    Xpresiones! Monotypes and Constructions by Gustavo Ramos Rivera features thirteen new monotypes and four very large constructions by San Francisco artist Gustavo Ramos Rivera. According to Jerry Emanuel, exhibition coordinator, "Rivera's art reveals radiant visual flavors which form the purist fruits of Modern Mexican Aesthetics." Guest Curator Melissa Behravesh (Smith Andersen Editions) describes Rivera's new images as "gestural, personal, and open." obert Flynn Johnson, recently retired as Chief Curator of the Achenbach Collection, stated, "Gustavo Ramos Rivera is an artist who surprises, delights, and sometimes overwhelms the uninitiated with his extraordinarily exuberant and colorful draftsmanship."

    The monotypes range in size, with several as large as 5 ft by 3.5 ft. The constructions are even larger, ranging up to 8 ft in height. Thematically, there are clear relationships between the two methods of art creation, and the X in Xpresiones reflects the recurring symbology. Ramos Rivera was born and raised in Ciudad Acuna, Mexico, and moved to San Francisco in 1969. He acknowledges Rufino Tamayo and Richard Diebenkorn as important influences on his art.
