Lucía Vidales, *Viendo Desde El Monte Calvario*, 2020

Located in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, PROXYCO was founded by Alexandra Morris (b. Mexico City) and Laura Saenz (b. Bogota) in 2017.

PROXYCO presents the works of emerging and mid-career artists, primarily from Latin America. Through exhibitions featuring the artists we represent, as well as numerous collaborations with galleries from Latin America and beyond, we aim to deepen the understanding of works by artists of Latin American descent within an international art context.

For PROXYCO, the term “Latin American” is not an essentializing label but rather a fluid framework for engaging with

For NADA Miami 2025, PROXYCO is proud to present a solo booth featuring one of Lucía Vidales' most ambitious large-scale works to date. "Viendo el Monte Calvario" ("Looking at Mount Calvary", 2020) is a 30-foot-long transportable painting composed of eight panels. Originally commissioned for "Murales para un cubo blanco" ("Murals for a White Cube") at the esteemed Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros in Mexico City—the former studio of the legendary Mexican muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros—the work was conceived as a visual dialogue with a lesser-known but deeply charged painting by Siqueiros himself. In "Looking at Mount Calvary", the artist reimagines the crucifixion site not as a place of fixed narrative, but as a fantastical, dreamlike terrain. Ladders ascend and descend, yet seem unnecessary—everything, including the ladders themselves, appears to float. Human-like figures rise skyward or tumble into a river below, suspended in a liminal space where transformation is constant, and Christ is conspicuously absent. The work was also exhibited at Ballroom Marfa in 2022.
