lucky 70 (suerte): new work by Dougie Padilla documents the solo exhibition of paintings, sculpture, and prints by artist/activist/poet dougie padilla at Rogue Buddha Gallery, Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2019. The full-color exhibition catalog celebrates padilla's forty-year career as an artist, poet, spiritual mentor, and community activist. Padilla relies on intuition, meditative visions, tenacity and the spirit of the moment to guide and give form to prayers or mantras made tangible in his paintings, drawings, original prints, ceramic tile and installations. His subjects often include life, death, good vs. evil, heritage, ghosts, friendship, mysticism, sweetness and beauty. With an obsessive attention to detail and his use of every morsel of working surface, these works take on the feel of religious icons or spiritual talismans. Padilla's work is colorful, unapologetic, bold, and vibrant. For more information, please visit www.dougiepadilla.com
