Barrientos Martínez shares, “Created in 1981 in conjunction with the exhibition Murals of Aztlán: The Street Painters of East Los Angeles at the Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles, California, Por El Pueblo reflects a diverse cast of signs and symbols that belong to a coded pictographic language first developed by the artist in the early 1970s. From a family pet to an unbridled horse, a military warplane to a 1920s Chevy, an oversized corazón to a nopal cactus, these icons are painted atop a large spread of cool hues with inclusions of deep red shades. Romero’s motifs represent familiar surroundings within the range of Boyle Heights in East Los Angeles to Arroyo Seco in Taos, New Mexico, pulling from his communal and personal record as a love letter to his culture and region composed in the tongue of his visual vocabulary. Por El Pueblo communicates to viewers using coded language that is both deeply personal for Romero and universal in its relationship to the everyday.”
