Born in Paris in 1932 and now based in Hudson, New York, Cuban-American artist Sita Gómez paints with vivid color and unflinching passion. Shaped by her multicultural upbringing and childhood experiences fleeing Nazi-occupied Paris and later Castro’s revolution, her work explores, challenges, and celebrates universal themes of gender, sexuality, history, and religion.
In this sweeping retrospective of her 75-year career, Hudson Hall and Rose Gallery shine a long-overdue light on a remarkable artistic luminary in our own backyard.
“I am painting what I know best: women. I paint the glamorous stars, the poor old bag ladies, the infamous, the ordinary, the “every day” women that cross our lives. In all my work there is a strong colorful Latin mood permeating, reflecting my Hispanic heritage.” — Sita Gomez, 1976
