Exhibition of Adrian Bermeo “No Need To Reminisce”
Through abstract-figuration and representational paintings, Bermeo responds to the erasure of cultural histories while reclaiming narratives from a personal and political lens. His practice—rooted in influences of graffiti—directly addresses the censorship and ethnic cleansing imposed on marginalized communities to propose a subversive reality. One grounded in cyclical legacies of ancestral wisdom and lineages. Drawing on his lived experiences as a native New Yorker of Puerto Rican and Ecuadorian descent, Bermeo prompts audiences to reconcile with a resonating truth: intergenerational knowledge and identity persist as long as familial traditions and collective memory are upheld.
