Excited to be part of this group show this Thursday April 30th! Curated by @cassandramayelallen @_m.o.o.n.i_ come to LES for opening reception from 6-8pm. Mooni is an art gallery based in Mexico City that functions as an unconventional exhibition space. Their mission is to foster a new art culture focused on horizontality and transparency, promoting artists at all stages of their careers. Rather than a traditional White Cube, the gallery operates more like a French Salon, allowing the work to speak for itself in a way that is inviting and accessible to viewers. #dominicanartist #latinxartist #painting by @delvinlugo

—
Ryan Cosbert builds layered, grid-based paintings that move between control and disruption, using color, material, and embedded elements to explore history, perception, and the lived realities of the African diaspora.

Delvin Lugo works through intimacy, identity, and domestic space, painting on home linens that carry a lived-in, bodily presence, where image and object begin to collapse into one another.

Come see what they’ve been working on, spend time in the studio, and catch the work at a moment when it’s still shifting.

Delvin Lugo wore many hats before becoming a figurative painter. He grew up surrounded by fabric and clothing—his parents were both tailors—and vibrant, neon houses in the Dominican Republic, where he was born and raised.⁠
⁠
“I consider fabric to be my first artistic medium,” @delvinlugo says, “because as soon as I could hold a needle and use a sewing machine, I was constructing things, making Barbie’s clothes and things like that.”⁠
⁠
For the past three years, Lugo has combined his love of painting with his textile roots by creating self-portraits in oil on vintage household linens. Now an @aimbxma Fellow at the @bronxmuseum, he is part of a group exhibition featuring his first installation piece, the autobiographical “Country to City/Town to City.”

Cohort 04 Artist Highlight: Delvin Lugo

His work holds tenderness and tension at once, folding family, place, and selfhood into scenes that feel both personal and collective.

Delvin Lugo @delvinlugo is a New York City–based artist whose practice centers on narrative figurative painting as a way to examine home, intimacy, and identity. Working on found vintage embroidered linens and tablecloths, Lugo brings domestic materials into direct conversation with portraiture, memory, and lived experience. The worn surfaces of these textiles are not backdrops but collaborators, carrying histories of care, labor, and presence.

We’re excited to announce Cohort 04: Delvin Lugo @delvinlugo and Ryan Cosbert @bcosryan, selected by jurors Jessica Hong (Chief Curator, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art), Damien Davis (Artist, Educator, and Curator), and Carla Forbes (Assistant Curator, Brooklyn Museum, Center for Feminist Art).

Delvin Lugo is a New York City–based artist working through narrative figurative painting to examine home, intimacy, and identity. His use of found vintage embroidered linens brings a lived-in material history into the work, collapsing portraiture and domestic space. Lugo is a 2024 Bronx Museum AIM Fellow, an LMCC Workspace resident, and a recipient of the 2025 Lillian Orlowsky and William Freed Grant from PAAM. His work has appeared in New American Painting and ESSE Magazine and is held in the Microsoft and Fidelity art collections. His work is currently on view in the 7th AIM Biennial at The Bronx Museum of Art in 2026.

Ryan Cosbert is a first-generation African American conceptual artist of Haitian and Guyanese descent. Her practice engages political histories, personal narrative, and the African diaspora through abstraction and material experimentation. Using grid-based compositions and layered “tiles,” Cosbert builds paintings that balance structure, color, and embedded objects, creating works that are both formally rigorous and historically grounded. She earned her BFA from the School of Visual Arts in 2021.

We’re excited to follow Ryan and Delvin’s work over the next four months. Stay tuned for what’s ahead.
