Ellen Noël to host Con Cariño by Guadalupe Hernandez
The Ellen Noël Art Museum of the Permian Basin (ENAM) will host Con Cariño by Guadalupe Hernandez from Aug. 23 through Dec. 1.
The museum is located at 4919 East University Blvd. in Odessa. This exhibition is one of the many free programs offered here.
With this exhibition, Hernandez examines the themes of family, labor, and cultural practices through a series of paintings and works of cut paper inspired by Papel Picado. “Con Cariño,” which translates to “with love” or “with care,” is an homage to his parents who abandoned their homeland in search of a brighter future for their family.

Hernandez has also participated in artist residencies with institutions such as the Asia Society Texas Center and Houston Center for Contemporary Craft.
