Chaz Bojorquez "End of the World" @ Plaza De La Raza/Boathouse Gallery

While hindsight reveals that in fact the Mayan prophecy predicting doomsday was incorrect, Chaz

While hindsight reveals that in fact the Mayan prophecy predicting doomsday was incorrect, Chaz Bojorquez presented a fitting gallery show before individuals were able to breathe a sigh of relief. Titled “End of the World,” the Plaza De La Raza/Boathouse Gallery in Los Angeles served as the stage for Bojorquez’s signature works/lettering that draws strength and inspiration from East LA. As the recap indicates, a number of new depictions of Chicano-style imagery were presented on canvas as well as on skateboard decks – thus creating a seamless transition from street level to gallery setting. In speaking about the exhibition Bojorquez commented, “This body of new artwork is a representation of the passing of the old world, expressing the emergence of change, a new world united through technology, arts and culture.” “End of the World” is free and open to the public and runs through January 31, 2013.
