MASTERS OF STYLE" EASTERN PROJECTS
–LAUREN OVER, CARTWHEEL ART
A
CROWD OF MEDIA AND FANS – the size, eagerness
and enthusiasm of which I’ve never witnessed at an art
show – flocked to California Locos: SoCal Originals –
Masters of Style, opening reception at Eastern Projects
Gallery in Los Angeles’ Chinatown on Saturday, September 16th. This edition
of the touring show is, very appropriately, an official part of 2017’s Pacific
Standard Time: LA/LA (Latino Art in L.A.).
The exhibition was curated by Chaz and Christina Bojórquez, and expanded the
family of its original California Locos line up of Chaz Bojórquez, Dave Tourjé, John Van
Hamersveld, Norton Wisdom and Gary Wong, to include the likeminded artists SLICK,
Shepard Fairey, RETNA, Mister Cartoon, Robert Williams and Estevan Oriol.
