Elmer Guevara : (Dirty Realism: Otra Noche en L.A.)

VETA by Fer Francés presents the solo exhibition of Elmer Guevara as part of Dirty Realism: Otra Noche en L.A. 

 

Elmer Guevara (b.1990) was born and raised in Los Angeles and is currently working bicoastally in New York City. In the 1980s, his parents fled a war-torn El Salvador finding refuge in the City of Angels. Along with South Central’s vibrant energy and the culture his parents brought with them, he became inspired to reflect on his upbringing and the hybridity of cultures. He often constructs narratives by sampling family photos from his youth, reframing compositions that form dialogue about identity and concepts of inter-generational trauma.
