‘STREET LEGAL’

Rivera & Rivera Gallery is proud to announce the opening of ‘Street Legal’, an exhibition of original artwork by legendary Los Angeles artists Mear One, Kofie, El Mac, and Retna.

Opening in conjunction with ‘Vox Humana’, a live art performance by these same artists at the Los Angeles Convention Center during the L.A. Art Show 2010 (that must be seen – HUGE pieces!), this exhibition will showcase more than 25 works of art, including the premiere of Mear One’s monumental sculpture entitled “Pillar of Consciousness.”

While wildly diverse in styles, media, and scale, this unique group of artists have transcended street writing and evolved their work into one of the most challenging and sophisticated contemporary art forms.

About Joao Ruas:

Website: http://feral-kid.com/
Blog: http://souvlaki.jp-ar.org/

Born in Brazil, 28-year old artist João Paulo Alvares Ruas was still a young child when his interest for visual art started to grow. Comic books were his first bridge to lines and colors, during high school much of his time was devoted to creative thinking due to the almost alternative education institution he studied under. Later, he took Design as his choice in University.

After a three year stint in London, João went back to his home town, São Paulo, where he works and lives.

Look for Joao to make his return to Los Angeles this coming May at our new gallery space in Culver City.
