(1 of 79) A SILKSCREEN PROJECT MONUMENT 10 is a silkscreen project that was produced at the legendary Self-help Graphics located in the heart of East Los Angeles. As part of the Post-modern Aztlan (Atelier XLVI), the project is a silkscreen edition of 79 prints, plus 5 Artist's Proof, 5 Printer's Proofs, 2 Studio Proofs, and 4 Test Conceptually, the implementation of the 'found' sticker is used to introduce a circumstantial element that explores an urban aesthetic and aims to bring an understanding of the built-environment. The central composition element, the 'vessel' carries an evolving fabric and regurgitates a different configuration in each unit, thus bringing an unpredictable and unique 'code' that emulates our individual experience of our city, both at a local and global scale.

“Art opens new doors for learning, understanding, and peace among people and nations”, Kofi Annan
The 2005 Latino Art Museum Biennale brings together art and artists from many Latin American countries who now reside in the United States. Presenting a wide range of styles that exhibit the national influences of their origination, the global influences of today’s society, as well as art historical influences, these transcultured artists, with little in common beyond their desire to communicate visually with the viewer present a possible look into the future—a future where disparate people can communicate through their art, speaking to others about the commonalities in their lives regardless of culture or tradition.
As in the art world in general, this group of Latino artists presents styles varying from the traditional to the contemporary. The influence of heritage is apparent in a few, as in Oscar Castillo Cynthia's enhanced photo of a native dancer, Delores Haro’s Blue Angel, a fantasy painting that evokes images of a native spirit and Nora Pineda’s ceramic vessel Duenas de la Olla, that has the distinct look of a native wedding vessel, though each incorporates contemporary media, images or treatment. But our global society is becoming more homogeneous and identifiable references to ethnic origins are becoming more subtle.
The traditional style of plain air painting is apparent in Jose Luis de Juan’s view of Los Angeles’ Soto St., and in Richard Gallego’s foggy beach. But, I think the most engaging are the contemporary works that speak of the artist’s desire to probe deeply into unspoken thoughts or explore emotions or experiences that are easier expressed visually. The colorful images in Ana Genzon’s landscape, Elementos, tells us more than where these three trees grow, allowing us to create a story of this place, and drawing the viewer into a dialogue with the artist. The multi-directional planes in Luis Gomez’s, 5 Gallos, rearranges space and gives us a unique view of an ordinary barnyard, causing us to reassess what is possible. While the abstract grid of Abel Ramirez’s Urban Tapestry and the organic swirls of color in Cris Orfescu’s medium new media (scanning electron microscope, computer, archival inks on canvas print) NANOART, Flamingo, allow the viewer to imagine a dynamic world of balance and movement.
These discourses between artist and viewer expand our understanding of each other and thence develop acceptance and growth while producing hope for a better future all the while creating a beautiful art exhibition.
