17 Frost Art Space Presents WONDERLAND: New Paintings and Assemblages by Lopez Ramos

Rafael Lopez-Ramos artworks are usually structured on multiple visual and semantic layers of contrasting iconographies. For his Wonderland series, Lopez Ramos has resorted to found objects, mostly containers/labels of consumer goods, and pornographic images, all of which morphs into a palimpsest when superimposed on abstract impressionist backgrounds. The series comprises several paintings on canvas, nine assemblages on plywood and a number of works on a wall paper pattern. Its sex narrative carries a dark metaphor of our zeitgeist, while emulating the obscenity level of events currently being witnessed in Europe and North America.

The opening reception on July 7th will feature live music by Lenna Pierce at 8pm and Roberto Poveda at 9pm. The exhibit runs until August 25th.
