Anindita Dutta in 𝘍𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮, Opening Tues Feb 24

Pedro Troncoso is an artist from the Dominican Republic whose work layers erased narratives into dreamlike worlds where blurred identities confront colonial impact. In the fragile space between ancestry and autonomy, his work asks: how much of our heritage are we willing to negotiate or rebuild?

His works in 𝘍𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 explores the charged space that exists in the sliver between slumber and the awakened self. Suspended among fragments of memory, desire, and nocturnal fears, mythic scenes unfold in the surreal chaos of parasomnia. His new illustration works are part of his Divining Goddesses series, where Caribbean bodies in a dreamlike trance are pierced by ornamental armatures that mark scars of struggle, reshaping pain into reclaimed power that cuts through history.

He earned his BFA in Illustration at Parsons School of Design after formative studies at Altos de Chavón, La Escuela de Diseño (DR), and holds an MFA in Fine Arts from the New York Academy of Art. His work has been shown at the 29th and 31st Dominican Biennials, NADA, Art Central Hong Kong, ComplexCon, and the AXA Art Prize, with additional exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Puerto Rico, and Beijing.
