Please join us for Contents Under Pressure, a new series of Pop-up Art Exhibitions featuring the next generation of LA Based Artists.
Our first exhibition showcases Johnny Quintanilla, and features original paintings, limited edition prints and a mixed media re-interpretation of Prideful Deer, his Chinatown Mural.
“Lately, my work has included various animal drawings covered in color displaying death and rebirth. Through this series I challenge the audience to question the rooted fear of death providing an alternative emotion – peace of mind…” says Johnny of his recent paintings.
Johnny Quintanilla (1988, American) was born in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles. He is a pop-surrealist with strong non-linear narrative compositions that pay homage to his cultural heritage while embracing the urban pop style developing in our city. His illustrative style is layered in analogies, symbolism and a deep seated spirituality.
