Claremont Lewis Museum of Art presents One of Your Girls or Your Homies: Tan Jazz Mont Exhibition

Description

As a companion to Home in Aztlán, an exhibition of recent work by Tan Jazz Mont will be featured in the Dike Gallery. One of Your Girls or Your Homies: Tan Jazz Mont will present paintings and sculpture at the intersection of autobiography, social commentary, and abstraction. Tan Jazz Mont, a queer artist who lives and works in the Inland Empire, harvests the rich imagery of his Hispanic heritage to speak to the irresolvable complexities of identity. Personal narratives are in constant flux, straddling the precipice between iconography and the materiality of paint. Mont earned an MFA from Claremont Graduate University and was awarded the AIGA Worldwide Scholarship and the CGU Merit Scholarship twice. Mont is a Visual Arts professor at San Bernardino Valley College, Mt. San Jacinto College, and Moreno Valley College.

Both exhibitions will open with a reception on Saturday, December 7 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. 

The Museum, located in the historic Claremont Depot at 200 W. First Street next to the Metrolink Station, is open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, from noon to 4 p.m. Admission is free every Friday.
