Wichita Art Museum acquires King Me by Scott Carrillo Azevedo

The Wichita Art Museum has acquired King Me (2026) by Scott Carrillo Azevedo for its permanent collection. Azevedo is a virtuoso painter, ranging from the meticulous depiction of people to more expressionist areas of paint applied to the canvas. Whether rendering scenes of family history of individuals, his paintings radiate with color and gesture, suggesting a celebratory attitude despite a past plagued by abuse, marginalization, and erasure.
