Plata O Plomo

"More me, less Runsy."

Chicago born and raised artist Runsy makes her introduction as Esperanza, the vulnerable artist, in her debut solo show at Franchise Gallery. Plata o Plomo is a semiotic exploration of varying forms of power procured through pop culture facades and adornments. Runsy is Esperanza, in a dualistic existence, arriving at what it means to be a Mexican artist from South Side Chicago with a propensity for self exploration. This presentation of, "all things that make up who I am," is equally meditative and robust. Each intricate lead etching is as delicate as ti is striking, much like the artist herself.
