The exhibition consists of mixed media pieces primarily on wood, site-specific installations, and a selection of hand-made publications on display. Also part of the exhibition will be a retrospective history of Eyeone's iconic Zapatista characters, their relationship to the Zapatista movement, and the collaborative nature of his street mural work.

Eyeone is a member of Los Angeles graffiti crews Seeking Heaven and Second To None and publishes the highly acclaimed journal Lost | Graffiti in the City of Angeles.
