Rebel Legacy: The Abstract in Latino Art

Hot on the heels of LACMA's controversial Phantom Sightings exhibition, Pharmaka Gallery tackles the issue of contemporary Chicano art with Rebel Legacy: The Abstract in Latino Art. Artists from the heated Chicano movement of the '70s helped spark civil-rights progress for people of Mexican descent living in the US; the 11 artists participating in Rebel Legacy — some of whom hail from Central and South America and have faced similar discrimination — use different media to channel their cultural and political sensibilities. Highlights include Sam Baray's geometric paintings and distressed expressionist prints on linoleum.
