A timely exhibition celebrating one of Los Angeles’s most groundbreaking artists<\/p>\n
ArtCenter Exhibitions<\/a><\/strong> is pleased to announce Victor Estrada: Purple Mexican<\/a><\/strong>, a survey of works by the Los Angeles-based artist, Victor Estrada<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n In a career spanning more than 30 years<\/strong>, Victor Estrada has produced paintings, drawings, sculptures and installations that deftly navigate the realms of pop and conceptual art.<\/strong> A consummate Angelino, his work is informed by the unique cultural landscape of the sprawling metropolis and the Southwest\u20141980s Los Angeles and South Bay punk rock; Chicano art, music and politics; the art collectives ASCO and Los Four; and the enduring socio-political ramifications surrounding the US\/Mexico border.<\/strong> Estrada congeals this and more in his surreal forms, pushing the boundaries of abstraction while also teasing the viewer with eruptions and viscera of his own identity. His work challenges us as it upends prevalent systems of control, oozing its way into our collective consciousnesses as a byproduct of natural, chaotic and complex forms of subsistence in an illogical, hostile world.<\/p>\n More about the exhibition HERE<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A post shared by ArtCenter College of Design (@artcenteredu)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
