@ the Cheech

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.

About the Artist

Alvarez is a graduate of Art Center College of Design. His paintings have been featured in Juxtapoz, New American Paintings, and Thrasher Magazine, and are part of the Cheech Marin collection.
