Raul De Lara
Raul De Lara is a sculptor based in NYC. (Virginia Commonwealth University, MFA ‘19) His practice is rooted in storytelling via woodworking. He immigrated from Mexico to the United States at the age of 12. Growing up in Texas as a non-English speaker, feeling neither from here nor there, his work now reflects on ideas of nationality, language barriers, body language and the sense of touch. His aesthetics and materials are inspired by the shared backyard between the United States and Mexico.
