Azaceta has made New Orleans his home since the early 1990s, and could be the city's most internationally renowned contemporary visual artist. However, despite gallery and museum shows throughout Europe as well as North and South America, not to mention five one-person exhibitions at Arthur Roger Gallery in the past decade, Azaceta's work is not widely known in his adopted city.
