Crewest Gallery Presents
Syndrome
"I Learned It By Watching You"

An observation of the effects of mass media on the public. The show's name was inspired by a popular, Reagan era PSA that aired on American television during the late 1980s. The concept behind each piece of art will range from playful satire to intense realism; each representing a different take on the influence media has on our lives and opinions. The execution is an intricate mixed media process bridging traditional art forms with digital tools.

About Syndrome:
Syndrome-comprised of artists Micah Hancock, James Larese and Mars Sandoval-began as an LA-based art collective showing in galleries in NYC and LA. Syndrome then went on to start a creative boutique under the same name. They now specialize in live-action directing for commercials, music videos and broadcast.

Music by: DJ DAZ (Umoja Soundsystem, Los Angeles)
