Juxtapoz Magazine - Israel Campos "Echoes" @ Charlie James Gallery, Los Angeles

These paintings reveal the layers of history that undergird modern Los Angeles. Yaanga Lies Under the 101 imagines the city's earliest Tongva inhabitants as they made their home on the land that, in the modern day, runs beneath the Hollywood Freeway. Campos's process mimics this archaeological layering: each canvas begins with a screenprinted underlayer that is then painted over in acrylic, and then once again layered with screenprinted details.
