Episode 8 - Alex Nunez

Born and raised in Miami, Alex Nuñez is a Cuban-American mixed-media painter. She is not only a friend of mine, but Eliot and I collect her work. We met her at the Perez Museum 15 years ago when she gave an impromptu speech about an artist a group of us were examining. She was so articulate and so thorough that we all fell in love with her. She received her MFA from Hunter College, City University of New York, and was awarded the C12 Emerging Artist Fellowship. Solo shows include Marianne Boesky, New York, and Club Gallery, Miami. Her works have been exhibited in Museo del Barrio New York, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami.

Nuñez is the host and producer of the “Sunday Painter” (https://alexnunez.net/Sunday-Painter) podcast on Jolt Radio, now in its seventh year of production, and a recipient of The Warhol Foundation’s Wavemaker Grant. She has been reviewed and published in The New York Times, Artforum, CNN, Art Nexus, Hyperallergic, Huffington Post, W Magazine, and The Observer.
