Lena Orlando and her Volvo stencil

Walled City Gallery was pleased to exhibit cut on the dotted line…,a showcase of five artists doing amazing work using stencils. The is a lot of excellent stencil work being done in Los Angeles right now, and these five artists represent a wide range of approaches, techniques and aesthetics. Victor Gastelum is a graphic designer who makes awesome multi part stencils, often using Southern California’s low rider culture as a starting off point. Craig Ibarra transforms photographs of Punk Rock icons with amazing care and detail, capturing the essence of these sonic heroes. Lena Orlando will be creating a site specific, full scale stencil of her car, a 17’ x 6’ monument of cut cardboard and Krylon. Tiki Jay One has been creating gorgeous multi stencil pieces for some time now, his large scale images of animals and beautiful girls are raising the bar for stencil artists all over town, inspiring much envy and admiration. Zero X, AKA artist Mark Farina, takes a more painterly approach to stencils, using them as elements in his paintings, creating hard edges in the midst of texture and brushstroke. cut on the dotted line… is an opportunity to several great artists working in an emerging media, taking different paths, and producing some amazing work | ||
