[[note]] Retrospec 1963 - 1989 
June 88 [[/note]]

Naul Ojeda is one of the truly distinguished printmakers of Latino heritage in the United States and in the field of woodcuts the most outstanding young Latino artist following in the tradition of Francisco Homar and Amighetti. When the graphics work of the 1970's and 1980's is finally digested by the caudillos of Art History certain works and artists will remain  imprinted indelibly in our memories for their exceptional quality idealism political belief, and lyricism - Rupert Garcia Amado Pena (in his early 1970s political work in silkscreens), and in the field of the woodcut- Naul Ojeda.

We are proud to present this retrospective of 25 years of work of Naul's as the 16th Anniversary exhibition in honour of the founding of the Fondo del Sol Visual Arts & Media Center, Washington's first artist run Latino cultural museum. In his moving and wonderful work Naul stands as a symbol for all his fellow Latino artists in the greater Washington area, of uncompromising quality and a new meaning and vision in the world of the woodcut.
