Buunni Coffee Pinehurst: Francis Hsueh

Since my solo show began on January 5, I’ve been taking the opportunity to visit the shop on a daily basis. I’ve had so many wonderful conversations and I am gratified that my art has inspired curiosity (people often mistake them for photographs) and nostalgia for some of the subjects I’ve captured.

Please come and say hi. I’m usually at Buunni between 7-8am or around 12pm. I’d love to give you a personal tour of the exhibit and also hear how they might resonate with you. All of my works are for sale, and you can view the Exhibition Catalog here. If you see something you like, email me at info@art-francis.com. (A red dot at the show means the artwork has been sold already).

And remember to enter the weekly raffle! I’m giving away a 5×7 print every week until the end of the show. To enter, go to this Reel on my Instagram page for instructions!.

My solo show lasts until the end of February. See you there!

Hispanic Society: Picasso and The Spanish Classics

Picasso and The Spanish Classics

Project Room | November 2, 2023 – February 4, 2024

The exhibition will explore Picasso’s response to Spanish literature, in particular his images inspired by two 17th-century literary giants, Luis de Góngora y Argote and Miguel de Cervantes. Featuring a recent acquisition, Picasso’s suite of prints, Góngora’s Vingt poëmes (1948), it will display rarely seen works of art alongside seventeenth-century editions and manuscripts. It will highlight Picasso’s reinterpretation of Velázquez’s portrait of the poet, the artist’s vision of the ideal woman, and his depiction of the iconic figures from Cervantes’s novel Don Quixote. The exhibition will thus focus on the way Picasso reinterpreted the literary classics of his native land.
