The Museum of Latin American Art is pleased to present the first solo exhibition in the United States of Salvadoran artist Antonio Romero, whose works are part of the collections of MOLAA and the Museo Reina Sofía in Spain.

Through his series TROPICALIA, Romero unfolds a poetic and critical approach that situates itself within a tradition of contemporary art that understands landscape not as an autonomous genre nor as an exercise in mimesis, but as an ideological construction. The project questions the processes of landscape standardization and presents it as a staged space.
