Crewest is very proud to announce Siner will be debuting his
first ever solo exhibit "Sinerlandia" on April 7th, 2012 at Crewest
Gallery.
The exhibit will feature original artwork which proudly
echoes the Los Angeles cultural landscape and street aesthetic.
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.
Born and raised in Los Angeles California, Siner has become
one of the most influential writers on the L.A. scene and is best known for his
intricate letter structure and free form flow. In the mid 1980’s Siner and his
brother Sane started writing and founded the infamous LTS (Last To Survive)
crew. He was heavily influenced by L.A. street culture and the Chicano
muralists. Using Aztec, Mayan, and Mexican pop culture imagery, Siner reflects
what it is like to have a sense of pride in one’s self and a respect for one’s
cultural heritage.
Sinerlandia opens Saturday, April 7, 2012 and will be on
view through April 29, 2012. Opening
Reception from 7 to 10 pm with live beats by DJ Phyz Ed and refreshments
provided by Roaring Lion and Jarritos. Sinerlandia will be open during the
Downtown Artwalk on Thursday, April 12, 2012 from 7 to 10pm.
