"Casas is best known for his pointed visual statements, which aim to upend cultural stereotypes and disparaging portrayals of Latinos in the media. Through ironic and sometimes humorous arrangements of image and text, Casas would leave his mark on the Chicano art movement with one of the longest painting series in the history of American art- his 153 Humanscape paintings. Mel Casas: Human presents six paintings from this series as well as eight Art Boxes, in the first solo exhibition honoring Casas at the McNay Art Museum." - Bianca Alvarez
