Frank Romero (USA)

Palm Tree, 2018

Acrylic on wood

31 x 14 inches

Born in East Los Angeles, Frank Romero is one of the most iconic L.A. artists of our time. He is the last practicing artist of Los Four, the artist collective comprising Romero, Carlos Almaraz, Gilbert Luján, Robert de la Rocha and Judithe Hernández that was at the forefront of forging a new Chicano art sensibility in the 1970s. Romero's brightly colored paintings evoke his Chicano roots and celebrate his Los Angeles community. His large-scale mural, Going to the Olympics, was a vital work of the 1984 Olympic Arts Festival, and still delights drivers on the 101 Freeway. Romero has exhibited extensively in the US, Europe and Japan, and his work is in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the San Jose Museum of Art, the Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) and the private collection of Cheech Marin. Dreamland: A Frank Romero Retrospective (2017) was the first solo exhibition of a Chicano artist at MOLAA.

This three dimensional work presents a one of Frank Romero's leive motif in his artistic production. The palm is a traditional symbol used by Frank Romero and is very evocative of the California landscape.
