Exhibitions: Estevan Oriol: SURU: Retrospective: Gangsta.
5January 29, 2009 by Citizen192
Los Angeles, Ca resident and longtime photographer Estevan Oriol will be featured at SURU gallery in Los Angeles starting February 1st. The exhibition, held until February 28th, consists of photographs throughout Oriol’s career. You can probably expect hardcore cholos (is that redundant?), bodacious cholas and iconic shots of Cypress Hill, Soul Assassins and others. Frankly, Oriol’s photographs should be categorized as cultural and historical treasures. In fact, I’d go so far as to say they should be hung in official city hallways throughout LA, or in mayor Villaraigosa’s office somewhere. Watch the clip below for some more about this artist.
