BENITO JUAREZ MURALISTS: 30 year Reunion
JIMMIE LONGORIA, OSCAR MOYA, MARCOS RAYA, ROBERT VALADEZ, SALVADOR VEGA
Over 30 years ago, these five young artists were commissioned to create a mural on the East side of the newly built Benito Juarez High School. The Mexican community fought long and hard to have this new school built in Pilsen.
To reflect this struggle, the artists created A LA ESPERANZA, a large mural which evokes the struggles and aspirations of Mexican youths and families.
They are now all professional artists, creating original paintings, murals, sculptures, and other forms of creative expression. They have developed very distinct styles, techniques, and themes. Each artist merits a “One-Man Show”, but all together, well, that’s an exhibit not to be missed.
This exhibit brings these five fine artists back together for the first time, to showcase some of their current work. CARLOS & DOMINGUEZ Fine Arts Gallery is honored and proud to present this unprecedented exhibit to Pilsen and Chicago.
