Through the installations, paintings, collages, and mixed-media sculptures featured in this dual-language, 60-page catalog, the reader can feel the pulse of the vibrant culture of the Dominican Republic and how it’s entwined with the culture of the U.S. The works by celebrated Dominican and American artists, including Kehinde Wiley, Cheryl Pope, and Raúl Recio, celebrate the deep and diverse connections between the cultures of the two countries.

The rich, saturated colors in the catalog evoke the experience of moving through the streets, forests, jungles, and coasts of the country and echo the vibrancy of the artworks. The catalog’s cover features Cheryl Pope’s mural, Gold and Shadows. Her inspiration came from visiting Santo Domingo’s colonial center, where she noticed the striking patterns of the buildings’ floor tiles. The simplicity and bold graphic look of the catalog’s cover focus attention on the power and elegance of the mural. Take a look at the other catalogs we’ve designed for Art in Embassies:
