Carlotta’s Passion Fine Art is pleased to present Three Chicanarte Greats: Carlos Almaraz, Gilbert "Magú" Luján, and Jose Lozano, from Saturday, April 14th until Sunday, May 20th, 2007.
- Carlos Almaraz (1949 - 89), a member of Los Four, the internationally famous Chicano art collective, created brilliant moody works which blend his personal and cultural sensibilities, European symbolist and impressionist influences, and the Fauve's color palette. Almaraz's works in this exhibit also reflect the rich legacy of his complex, emotional odyssey. - Gilbert "Magú" Luján, the founder of Los Four, is an ever popular sculptor, muralist and painter. The design principal for the Hollywood & Vine station on the Red Line, Magu uses his Mesoamerican heritage, as well as current popular art and cultural folk sources for his Chicanarte. - Jose Lozano presents stylized works depicting scenes of the day and night lives of la gente. His works are influenced by his childhood memories of Juarez, including Mexican comic book character stylization, and his academic training. He neither idolizes nor condemns his subjects, all of whom are, after all, subject to the human condition. All three artists hold Masters Degrees in Fine Art and are the recipients of many prestigious awards and grants.
Numerous works by Frank Romero, another beloved Los Four collective member, and an artist of international acclaim, will also be available at Carlotta's Passion Fine Art during this exhibit.
