Alexis Duque trains his paintbrush and pencil on the people society tries to force to the margins — figuratively and often literally. Inspired by Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano’s poem Los Nadies, the Colombian-born, New York City-based artist places these so-called “nobodies” (men, women and children facing poverty and discrimination based on migration, ethnicity, class or identity) in the foreground. Taller Puertoriqueño brings the artist’s latest collection of paintings and works on paper to Philadelphia in his solo exhibition, Los Dueños De Nada.
