Charlie James Gallery is pleased to present Israel Campos: Echoes, the artist’s first exhibition with the gallery. Campos excavates the layered cultural histories of Los Angeles using a combined painting and screenprinting technique. These paintings reveal the layers of history that undergird modern Los Angeles. This attachment to story is one of the ways in which culture survives migration, and in Campos’s works the spirits have made their home in Los Angeles alongside their mortal counterparts. Whether delving into ancient history or immortalizing the corner store, Campos works with a specificity that locates his work squarely in Los Angeles.
