“De la Tierra,” the recently opened exhibition at the Colorado History Center, cuts across the usual lines that define museum shows. And it does so in a burst of colors. It is neither the standard history exhibition, relying solely on artifacts to tell a story, nor does it fall into the strict category of an art exhibition, where visitors are expected to wander from painting to painting, pondering the greater meaning of the art before them. The show’s organizer, Lucha Martínez de Luna, mixes the two elements together — about half and half — and it’s a clever curatorial choice that allows her to present a more complete picture of how culture developed in a unique region of the state. Brandon Maldonado’s 2024 “Penance” is an acrylic oil-on panel painting referencing the Hermanos Penitentes of Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado.
