explore pioneer square
Welcome to the Original Seattle Neighborhood – rich in history, arts, culture, and food!
Join us for Pioneer Square’s First Thursday Art Walk and the opening reception of Fulgencio Lazo’s new solo exhibition, “Tejiendo Historias | Weaving Stories”!
ArtX Contemporary is proud to present Tejiendo Historias | Weaving Stories, our second solo exhibition by Oaxacan-American artist Fulgencio Lazo. Renowned for his vibrant abstract paintings and sculptures, Lazo’s art is an exploration of cultural identity and the power of community.
In his new body of work, Lazo celebrates the textile traditions of the Zapotec people in Oaxaca, learned from his mother as a child. Ancestral weaving is a cornerstone of Zapotec culture and has been passed down for over two thousand years, preserving their stories through textiles. Lazo pays homage to this heritage in his paintings, where symbols of sewing and weaving, such as spools of thread and spinning wheels, intertwine with the joyful faces of children carrying these traditions forward.
