Alvarez, who was born in Puerto Rico, utilizes both photography and different types of installations to \u201ccapture objects and spaces imbued with human presence.\u201d Sanchez, on the other hand, uses a mixed inspiration source of traditional Mexican folkloric expressions and current social issues to shine through colorful prints and tin paintings.<\/p>\n

Locals may have seen Alvarez\u2019s work in sites like Comcast, Drexel University, and the Mexic-Arte Museum in Austin, Texas; and Sanchez\u2019s in the Philadelphia Museum of Art<\/a>, El Museo del Barrio in New York, The National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago, \u201cThe Cheech\u201d Riverside Museum in California, and more.
