Skateboarding is the sports of teens in Los Angeles — at least it used to be before smart phones came along. This skateboarder by Shepard Fairey is in the Eastern Projects gallery in Chinatown.
On a shopping trip to Chinatown I stumbled across an art gallery called Eastern Projects that is participating in the Pacific Standard Time LA/LA exhibitions.
The gallery is located on the street level of those new brilliant red buildings that almost overwhelm the old structures of Chinatown.
A classic Mexican image is the skull, here interpreted in plastic by the artist named Slick.
Works by Shepard Fairey (of the famous Obama ‘Hope’ poster), Locos, Dusters, Slick and others followed the 2017 Pacific Standard Time ‘theme’ of Latin American art in Los Angeles. I was especially intrigued by the skateboard and skater images in the show.
The skateboard installation at the Eastern Projects gallery in Chinatown includes videos.
Mouse ears graphic on a skateboard–what could be more So. Cal than that!A cooperative endeavor between Dusters and Locos in the Masters of Style show.Another version of the skull head image on the bottom of this skateboard.Visually interesting cross by Slick. The whole show is being promoted as Masters of Style.
And a block or so away from the art gallery is this artist working on the street.
