Summary Andy Medina’s 'MEX I CAN' at John Doe Gallery reworks familiar public symbols to explore Mexican identity and heritage.
Hailing from Oaxaca, Mexico, contemporary artist Andy Medina has built a practice around reexamining the symbols and visual language associated with Mexican identity.
Working across signage, installation, printmaking, textiles and more, Medina dismantles familiar cultural codes and rebuilds them through his own lens.
Also featured are works from Medina’s Superarme project, which appropriates the unmistakable visual identity of streetwear giant Supreme.
Across MEX I CAN, Medina reframes Mexican identity as something fluid rather than fixed.
