The Parthenon is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings by Nashville artist Jorge A. Yances in the museum’s west gallery. The oil on canvas series Cartagena Memories records images of this historic and colorful place and the people who live there.

 “Cartagena is a very old city, founded in 1533. It has been attacked often with much bloodshed over the centuries. Jorge Yances records the urban memory buried in the old stones. His work is very appealing, especially because within the intricate details, new images appear,” says Parthenon Curator, Susan Shockley.

 Yances has been painting since he was a young boy. Largely self-taught, he has created a lavish technique, using color and detail to express the vitality of the scenes and people he paints.

Please join us for the opening reception. Refreshments will be served and the artist will be present.
