Meet Gilbert Magu Lujan and Jose Lozano, Saturday, 4/28, 1 - 6 pm.
This is an informal event, during which Gilbert "Magu: Lujan, of the famed Los Four, and Jose Lozano work on a collaborative piece. You are invited to interact with the artists and learn more about them, including their intentions, philosophies, and influences. The artists plan to stop to answer questions and show examples in their works in the current exhibit.
This event is occurring in conjunction with Three Chicanarte Greats: Carlos Almaraz, Gilbert "Magú" Luján, and Jose Lozano, which runs until May 20, 2007.
This is a major exhibit with a large selection of works by the featured artists.
- 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. Please see:
- 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. Please see:
- 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. Please see:
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. Please see:
