Tullman Collection Artist Paul Sierra in New Show "Wrecked" at Oakton Community College Koehnline Museum


Cuban-born Paul Sierra has lived most of his life in the U.S., but his Latin roots are artistically and emotionally intertwined with influences from North American art and culture. Sierra perceives art as a tool to transform the chaos of his life as an immigrant into a positive vision. This exhibition features Sierra’s recent paintings of violent car accidents, with wreckages framed in luminous landscapes absent of human figures.

Sierra's paintings are included in the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, IL, National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian, Washington D.C., Illinois State Museum, Springfield, IL, Block Museum of Art, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, McCormick Place, Public Art Collection, Chicago, IL, and more.
