THE INVITATION
Solo Show – Taymour Grahne Projects – London
RF. Alvarez’s first exhibition abroad, The Invitation gives insight to the queer lived experience of the Texas and American landscapes of Alvarez’s origins. The grandson of a cowboy and the son of a Mexican immigrant, Alvarez’s practice explores heritages of gender expectations and societal norms in relation to the queer body and its community. In this new series of figurative works, Alvarez invites us to reflect upon intimacy through his deeply personal portrayal of queer lives, experimenting with the use of material to convey layered meaning and nuance.
