A
symmetrical and authentic, the
California Locos are artists
who create their works which are
deeply rooted in their experiences
growing up and living in the various
neighborhoods and subcultures of
postwar Los Angeles. Much like the
Locos themselves, the history of
art in Los Angeles is complex and
not easily simplified. It is rather
like an expansive tangled web
with threads that shoot out in all
directions at once, some converging
and intersecting while some never
touching at all. Each thread and its
unique placement within the web
tell an integral part of the story. To
fully appreciate them as a group and
their position within the web that is
Los Angeles contemporary art, it is
important to understand the context
and the history of the city in which
their individual threads were woven.
