Juan Luis Landaeta exhibits "Doxa" at the Inter-American Development Bank

An exhibition of paintings created by the Venezuelan artist between 2022 and 2025 is on display at the IDB Staff Gallery in Washington.

Venezuelan painter and writer Juan Luis Landaeta presents Doxa, his most recent exhibition at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Staff Gallery in Washington. It consists of 12 acrylic paintings that reflect crucial contemporary themes such as migration, confinement, and violence.

With Doxa, the Venezuelan artist continues to deepen his visual language with a powerful and authentic discourse. In his own words: "The material I reflect is the material that composes me. The material I pursue is the material I lack. The work I complete is the question I have just formulated."

The exhibition brings together his most recent acrylic painting work, created between 2022 and 2025, and marks his fifth solo exhibition in that country, in addition to three group presentations in which he has participated, thus strengthening his career and gaining a name among the Latinx voices in the American art world.

"As a Venezuelan and immigrant, I feel deeply grateful and proud to be presenting in one of the most relevant spaces for contemporary Latin American art in the US capital. With Doxa, I continue to deepen my visual language, with a forceful and authentic discourse, but with a focus on the sense of belonging, persecutory paranoia, and the discourses of violence and hatred that prevail in these times," said Juan Luis Landaeta, during the opening of the exhibition, which will be open to the public until June 12.

In Doxa (opinion), the artist delves into his visual language and takes a stand on the tensions between the intuitive and the calculated, the lyrical and the chaotic, intertwined with a reflection on the sense of belonging and discourses of violence and hate.
