On View
Not on viewKnown for his painting and pastel work, John Valadez depicts the Chicanx experience through photorealist representations of people from East L.A. An unusual print for Valadez in its abstract style, this untitled work shows groups of individuals conversing, fighting, and running. The suited male figure printed in blue and yellow gestures to his empty pant pockets, turned inside-out, as though to demonstrate his lack of cash.
