New Image Art stages an imaginative collection of works by the Date Farmers (aka Coachella Valley's Carlos Ramirez and Armando Lerma). The duo's output is comprised of scavenged materials alongside traditional media, recalling Mexican folk art, prison art, and Native American portraiture. The works present thematic narratives on the indigenous California experience, employing pop-culture and religious influences to identify what it means to be a native southlander. The gallery's project room narrows the scope of the pair's works with Cat House, examining one of their most prized subjects, the feline.
