Artist Larry Madrigal is the UNM Department of Art 2025 Frederick Hammersley Visiting Artist and will be giving an artist talk at the Albuquerque Museum February 20th from 5-6.

Larry Madrigal (b. 1986, Los Angeles) is a Mexican American painter living and working in Phoenix, Arizona. Through a contemporary rehabilitation of the historical genre picture, Madrigal's work expresses a complicated association with normalcy, masculinity, and close relationships. His paintings are a suspension and celebration of the precariousness by which our most mundane daily rituals are balanced on a precipice just above total anarchy.

Madrigal completed his MFA at Arizona State University in Tempe in 2020. He has had solo exhibitions with Veta Gallery in Madrid, Spain, Nicodim Gallery in Los Angeles and New York, Galeria Nicodim in Bucharest, Romania, the Phoenix Institute of Contemporary Art and more. He has also been included in group exhibitions in Bucharest, Paris, Tokyo, Tel-Aviv, New York and Los Angeles, Madrigal is represented by Nicodim Gallery.
