The Linda Hodges Gallery is proud to present Alfredo Arreguin in
his 6th solo exhibition at the gallery. Recognized as one of the originators
of the Pattern and Decoration movement in painting, Alfredo Arreguin
continues to garner accolades for his intricately designed and brilliantly
colored oil on canvas paintings.
Born in Moreila, Michoacan, Mexico (1935), Alfredo Arreguin
developed as an artist in Seattle, where he has resided since 1958.
Arreguin enrolled in the School of Architecture at the University of
Washington where he received a B.A. in fine art and subsequently, in 1970,
an M.F.A.
Alfredo Arreguin has a long and distinguished list of
accomplishments. In 1979 he was selected to represent the US at the 11th
International Festival of Painting at Cagnes-sur Mer, France, where he won
the Palm of People Award. In 1980 he received a fellowship from the National
Endowment for the arts. In 1988 Arreguin won the commission to design the
poster for the Centennial Celebration of the State of Washington (the image
was his painting Washingtonia). In 1994 the Smithsonian Institution acquired
Arreguin's triptych Sueno (Dream: Eve Before Adam) for inclusion in the
collection of the national Museum of American Art. A year later, in 1995,
Arreguin received an OHTLI Award, the highest recognition given by the
Mexican government to the commitment of distinguished individuals who
perform activities that contribute to promote Mexican culture abroad.
