SeptPhobik_(1_of_15)

This past weekend, street artists Septerhed and Phobik showed new work together at Stone Malone Gallery on Melrose. These two artists have been collaborating together on unique murals in Los Angeles. This was a great opportunity to see each artist shine in their own way in a gallery setting.

Septerhed is no stranger to our TACO readers. In 2011 Sept blessed our coveted L.A. Taco Book with the back cover design. Since then, he's been working non-stop with openings and mural work from Los Angeles to Buffalo. His illustrations, usually done on paper with markers, will at times make their way to murals, adding visual humor and wordplay.

Phobik has strengthened his art by painting with liked-minded individuals such as Mad Man, Gianni Arone and (of course) Septerhed.  His style is a mix of surreal paintings combined with cartoon heroes of the 80's like of He-Man or G.I. Joe. Placing his characters in unearthly settings gives them depth and sets them in a world all their own.

"We're in crisis mode," says Victor Campos, the Director of Mosh for Youth. "Immigrants build our communities, and they thrive with immigrants. If we look at who's being taken by the raids, it's hard-working Latinos. They're going to Home Depots, to swap meets, to places of business, and taking our people away. Families are left broken and shattered by these raids, so it's our responsibility as individuals with platforms to do something about it."
