Pachi Muruchu’s (@muruchuwa) solo exhibition Sumak Yachay is on view through December 2 at our Chinatown gallery. “The figures in Pachi Muruchu’s paintings are otherwise engaged. Deep in thought, in a book, in a memory or idle conversation, his subjects inhabit durations that exceed or resist the demands of capitalist time. They reside in dreamy or melancholy hermetic spaces, where plants and birds—borage and red-bellied trogon—are braided into the environment, surreal, but unacknowledged as such.” —Annie Godfrey Larmon Pachi Muruchu Ryan at Bennett Park (Lookout), 2021 Chalk pastel, acrylic, crayon, and charcoal on paper 11 x 17 inches #PachiMuruchu
