The drawing styles of Victor Gastelum and Amos complement each other, and the cartoon-like images that cover the walls here engage in a dialogue that incorporates art as well as politics. Both artists exhibit framed drawings that bring street culture into the gallery. Gastelum's works are iridescent silk-screens whose subjects range from cars to women to fantasy figures. Amos also lets his imagination run wild. His drawings are surreal and futuristic. Both artists are well known in the Chicano printmaking scene, where Amos also works as a master printer. This show documents a friendship, and is in essence a point of departure from the street art that has consumed both artists (Overtones, Culver City). Jump to Article.
