Kingston is an artist-run gallery space incorporated in 1982 and supporting a schedule of 22 shows per calendar year plus several special events and group shows.Kingston Gallery takes its name from its original location on Kingston Street near Boston's Chinatown. In the mid-1990s, the gallery was one of the very first to relocate to Thayer Street, anchoring what has since developed into the vibrant SoWa Arts District of Boston's historic South End.

Join Kingston Gallery Emerging Artist, Erick Maldonado for an Artist Talk about his current exhibition "Delights Momentum."

Emerging Artist,<a href="https://www.erickmaldonadoart.com/" title="https://www.erickmaldonadoart.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Erick Maldonado</a>, engages contemporary concerns and invites others to find their own narrative through images. In <a href="https://www.kingstongallery.com/center-maldanado-2024-1" title="https://www.kingstongallery.com/center-maldanado-2024-1" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Delights Momentum</a> , Erick combines his own exploration of identity with momentary responses to his environment and uses emblematic symbols to convey expressions of delights and joy. Large, animatic, and motionary charcoal drawings carry bold, textured lines that focus on a recollection of habits, objects, and space attached to one’s living experience. Works are inspired by what “reclamation” is, and the complexities of how that is offered through the hybridity of material.Erick is a Massachusetts based Dominican-American painter/visual artist, who primarily works with acrylic, oil, and mixed media using found materials, collage, and discarded materials to engage in his work. Erick explores themes of family, black gay/homosexual culture, interpersonal relationships, Dominican folklore and biodiversity. Through his paintings, Erick explores issues of race, class, and gender through figure, portraiture, and social media. <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cmpfRxj8GxgClsurQSBBvbDeeHxJr9V7/edit" title="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cmpfRxj8GxgClsurQSBBvbDeeHxJr9V7/edit" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Press Release</a>
