ANGER IS AN ENERGY: The Punk Alchemy of Miyo & Usen Print Editions

ANGER IS AN ENERGY: The Punk Alchemy of Miyo & Usen Print Editions explores the themes of knowledge/connection with the land, collaboration, and experimentation in the printmaking and collaborative print projects of artists Miyo Stevens-Gandara and Usen Gandara. Based in Whittier, California, these master printmakers are pillars of the printmaking community in Los Angeles. 

Known for their attention to quality, generosity of research spirit, and a delicacy of technique capable of printerly punk alchemy, this exhibition celebrates their devotion to the craft, and their commitment to the community of printmakers on LA’s Eastside and beyond. Through curated exhibitions, publications and handmade print portfolios, the artist team have documented and exhibited printmakers from Indiana to Puerto Rico to East Los Angeles. The finely-made print portfolios, as such, are an immutable and movable platform for knowing, sharing and making the worlds we hold in common; connecting us all to the broader graphic universe.

ANGER IS AN ENERGY features collaborative works by:

Pável Acevedo, Kay Brown, Ada Pullini Brown, Leslie Dolin, Alex Fridrich-Ward, Usen Gandara, Miyo Stevens-Gandara, Luis Genaro Garcia, J.Leigh Garcia, Natalie M.
