Michael Alvarez: Mama’s Boys (and Other Stories)

Exhibition: February 2–March 31, 2019

Artist Reception and Gallery Talk: Sunday, February 10, 2019, 4 p.m.–7 p.m.

Michael Alvarez grew up in the El Sereno neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, immersed in skateboard and graffiti culture. Through his work, Alvarez chronicles the world as he sees it. His images are incredibly familiar—they are places we see every day and people we know well, captured in a style all Alvarez’s own.
