| Sandra de la Loza Mural Remix; Unknown, Artist Unknown, c.1970s 2011 Duratrans in lightbox Courtesy of the artist |
Sandra de la Loza's Mural Remix series is an enthralling reappropriation of the 1970s Los Angeles chicano aesthetic vocabulary. Utilizing imagery from mural paintings, this series highlights thematic elements by focusing upon the details, repeating and reflecting them in geometric patterns. Although evocative of traditional Latin American tile work, the illuminating element of placing these images over a lightbox brings to mind stained glass windows.
It's an interesting style in which to explore and reutilize traditions of previous eras, such as the 1970s chicano movement or colonial era Catholic crafts. Through "remixing" the context and arrangement, Sandra de la Loza creates a new vision, looking back at tradition but forging ahead in search of new aesthetic expressions.
There are three of her works on display in "Baker's Dozen 4." Come check them out!!!
