Introduction

Naúl Ojeda is one of the truly distinguished printmakers of Latino heritage in the United States and in the field of woodcuts the most outstanding mid-career Latino artist following in the tradition of Fasconi, 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 1970's political work in silkscreens), and in the medium of the woodcut - Naúl Ojeda.

We are proud to present this retrospective of 25 years of work of Naúl Ojeda as the 16th Anniversary exhibition in honor of the founding of the Fondo del Sol Visual Arts and 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.
