Home is a solo exhibition of oil paintings that explore the everyday wonder of childhood within working-class urban environments. Through textured, sculptural surfaces and layered impressionistic brushwork, Bay Area artist, Adrian Delgado depict his daughters moving through the Bay Area—observing their world with curiosity, joy, and quiet awe.
This exhibition reflects the home he is building as a father and the people who shape that journey. The figures in these paintings—Delgado's children, neighbors, workers, and passersby—remind him of the parent he strives to be.
They also call back to his own parents, whose sacrifices and resilience created the foundation which he continues to build upon. The work becomes a visual bridge between generations: the family that raised him and the family he is raising now.
Cracked sidewalks, bus stops, corner stores, city benches, chain-link fences, and freeway underpasses form the backdrop of childhood across the Bay Area. These spaces carry a visual language shared by working-class communities throughout the country—places shaped by labor, migration, survival, and love.
By anchoring the work in these environments, Adrian Delgado honors the community that shaped him while reflecting on the family he is actively nurturing. This exhibition presents ''home'' as both inherited and constructed: a living, evolving space made from memory, responsibility, and the ongoing work of becoming the parent he strives to be.
