Pictured is “Encuentro,” 2019, relief print on paper 40 inches by 26 inches.

Artist Reinaldo Gil Zambrano will exhibit his art entitled “Malao’” in the North Idaho College Corner Gallery Sept. 11 to Nov. 1.

On Sept. 11, Zambrano will host a gallery walk of his work at noon, followed by a slide lecture from 4-5 p.m. in Boswell Hall Room 146, and an opening reception in the gallery from 5-7 p.m.

Zambrano is an award-winning printmaking artist based in Spokane who is originally from Caracas, Venezuela. From an early age, Zambrano began collecting unique stories from random social encounters that highlight the common aspects of the human identity, which later enriched the visual narratives of his drawings and relief prints.

His narrative raises questions of daily issues equally experience by people across culture and borders using relief printing as a storytelling tool for its illustration and reflection. He studies the universal idea of home and how it affects individual personalities by exploring iconography derived from the Majority World and fascinating storytelling inspired by Hispanic literature’s magical realism and illustrations from the Venezuelan Rosana Farias.

His wordless visual narratives seek to challenge the limitations of the written language and bring people together in celebration of the commonality of their collective experiences. His desire to promote the printmaking practice has guided him to collaborate with regional nonprofits to develop projects such as “First Vandal Steam Roller Project” and “The Ink Rally” projects where large carved pieces are printed on fabric using an asphalt roller and the help of many printmaking enthusiasts. Such projects in addition to the Spokane Print Fest and the funding of Spokane Print & Publishing Center have worked as communal developers and forces of integration between the academic, artistic and larger community in the Northwest.

Zambrano is currently an adjunct instructor in the art department at Eastern Washington University. He is also an artist member at The Saranac Art Projects and co-founder of the Spokane Print & Publishing Center.

The Corner Gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Friday. Admission to the gallery is free.
