In the Juxtapoz Fall 2024 Quarterly, Charles Moore wrote in his survey on contemporary Mexican art, “Based in New York, the Columbia University professor Aliza Nisenbaum paints colorful portraits that humanize underserved global communities, offering an intimate look at diverse cultures and relationships. Through an often political lens, Nisenbaum gravitates toward the popular aesthetics of Mexico, such as the intricate textures, patterns, and bright colors of her upbringing. No identity is homogeneous, she notes, and this viewpoint is apparent in the artist’s paintings. Nisenbaum’s works showcase the plurality of humanity, our traditions, and micro-differences, with an emphasis on solidarity, sensitivity, and access.”
