This 3-day pop-up show celebrates fatherhood and the strength of family through showcasing the work of artist Curtis Gutierrez and his daughter, Isabel Gutierrez. See the inheritance of the Chicano Mural Movement in their figurative work, and watch as both artists’ work simultaneously metamorphoses into abstraction. Both struggle to embody the epic themes of muralism in the movement and rhythm that still carry echoes of stories.
Curtis Gutierrez, and daughter Isabel Gutierrez.
Curtis Gutierrez grew up in the Bay Area and was part of the growing art scene in downtown Los Angeles in the 80`s. He was called a "maverick" by the LA times and was featured on the cover of the Sunday calendar. He is known for both his figurative and abstract large scale paintings and murals. Only recently returned to LA, this is his first show since his return.
Isabel Gutierrez is a recent graduate of James Madison University’s art department in Harrisonburg, Virginia. She currently interns with LA Art Resource and is devoted to producing a body of work in the downtown studio she shares with her father.
