Sinerlandia / Painted Beauty ~ Crewest Gallery

Sinerlandia ~ For this show, Siner exhibits both the beauty of the tag, lettering style, and character involvement which is the basis for Los Angeles graffiti. He takes the viewer on a journey through the streets of South Central Los Angeles with art based on L.A. street culture. While both forms of art exist on the streets, whether in the form of graffiti art on the wall or in the form of everyday street life of the Angelino, Siner is allowing the viewer to take an up close look into LA’s vivid cultural heritage as he sees it.

Painted Beauty ~ There comes a time when you simply just cannot define beauty, but you must acknowledge its presence. Michael Pizzarodoes just that with his new series Painted Beauty. With his ability to capture beauty and using the slender shape of the skateboard as a canvas, Pizzaro conveys to the viewer that not only is there the image of beauty but that there is a shape to it as well.
