Description: Painter Mateo Romero uses a bold, muscular style and thick, expressive paint to expose the fault lines and tragedies afflicting Native people today. At the same time, he offers a meditation on the difficult yet artistically stimulating process of cultural diaspora and return in which he and many other Native artists are engaged.

Review Quotes: "Romero's autobiographical text complements the vibrant colors and gestures of his art... I felt privileged to have a glimpse of this impressive body of work."
