Raised in Tucson, Ore-Giron is inspired by his roots in the American Southwest, his visits to his father's hometown of Huancayo, Peru, and his time spent as a practicing artist in California and Mexico. This catalogue brings together for the first time three pivotal chapters in Ore-Giron's career: his Southwest and Peruvian-inspired figurative works from the 2000s; his paintings from the 2010s that engaged elements of both figuration and abstraction, including an ongoing series focused on Mesoamerican deities; and the sublime gold-based paintings from his recent \"Infinite Regress\" series. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Curator Miranda Lash, along with celebrated scholars C.
