Recuerdos – Art by Frank Ybarra & Manny Burruel

Frank Ybarra and Manny Burruel present “Recuerdos” Ybarra and Burruel share their memories of family, childhood experiences, and stories about their ancestors. Frank Ybarra is a native Phoenician. His art depicts the desert and Arizona landscapes as well as his Mexican American heritage. Ybarra shares, “We are all shades of brown.” Ybarra uses a colorful palette with a slight cubist painting style. He also enjoys interjecting a little humor into his subject matter. Ybarra’s work is primarily acrylic on canvas as well as printmaking. Manny Burruel is a long-time printmaker but began studying oil painting 6 years ago. This show will debut his oil paintings. His subject matter is often sentimental. “I like how a place or object can symbolize an entire memory.” Burruel’s work is colorful and personal, and it inspires viewers to think about their own memories. Ybarra and Burruel were members of the MARS (Movimiento Artistico del Rio Salado) Art Space in the 90s, and have shown their work in galleries and museums throughout Arizona.
