New HOLD screen print with Eliseo Angel Casiano ( & a peek at Flyover State exhibition)

Got to work with Eliseo Casiano on some pretty sick CMYK process prints earlier this month. A complicated swarm of half-tone dots work together to summon the illusion of chrome balloon letters spelling the word “HOLD.” Process colors have been manipulated to shift colors to a pleasantly surreal magenta.

HOLD, Eliseo Angel Casiano, 11”x14” Alternative CMYK, Screen Print

ELISEO ANGEL CASIANO

“My work is an examination of pejorative societal devices that pronounce positions of racial inferiority and feelings of alienation, providing a context to the dissonance between my Tejano heritage and childhood aspiration to feel "normal" in a white space. I re-contextualize family stories in relation to cultural signifiers, social mobility, and ethnic representation to decipher my understanding of our present political climate.”

Eli was in town with Justin Tyler; the pair work together as Cholo Jackson and were curating ‘Flyover State’ a group exhibition at Resonator Institute. Show is up to view during events until December. Here’s some pictures from the exhibit:
