" René Sagastume is from Honduras, and traces of his native culture informs his delightful modern
canvases. You can see how Sagastume evolve his characters in layer upon layer of drawing and
colour, creating and evershifting animation. The resulting collisions of form and colour are unexpected
and show growth with Sagastume's every exhibit."
