We’re happy to announce that our ur current exhibition “Meet Me At The Boulevard” curated by has been extended through July. Email us @ [email protected] to schedule your appointment today. We look forward to hosting you.

“Meet Me At The Boulevard” is a vibrant and electrifying group exhibition showcasing artists deeply intertwined with Southern Californian car culture. Drawing inspiration from their communities and real-life experiences, these artists blur the lines between street subcultures and fine art.

From multimedia paintings reflecting women’s experiences in lowriding to 70s-style lowrider paint jobs on plexiglass, each piece speaks volumes about the essence of Los Angeles streets. Jacqueline Valenzuela’s work magnifies her journey as a female lowrider owner and artist, while Mark Anthony Hocutt’s creations ride the fine line between street and fine art. Ashley Jennae Garcia’s intricate nail art pays homage to the vibrant colors and imagery of lowriding, and Jerry Peña’s multimedia paintings merge textures and colors from several subcultures that molded him, like hot rod culture. Jesse Jaramillo’s pieces dive into sci-fi, Chicanismo, tattooing, and lowrider culture, reflecting his past, present, and future.

Together, these artists form a vital pillar of car culture, celebrating their communities and the boundless inspiration of everyday life in Los Angeles.

Jerry Peña (b. Los Angeles 1991) explores what defines his cultural identity as a first generation Mexican American in his work. Jerry incorporates materials rooted in the manual labor jobs his parents have held since arriving in the country. Along with these materials Jerry also integrates found objects from flea markets and swap meets as well as items collected from his daily scavenging around the city of Los Angeles. These items stem from the various subcultures that have shaped his upbringing. American nostalgia, Kustom Kulture, and the Chicano experience all come together in conversation with art movements like Minimalism, Rasquachismo and Abstract Expressionism to engulf the viewer in texture, color and imagery that feel specific to a certain place and context.

Peña holds a Bachelor of Arts in Drawing and Painting from Cal State Long Beach. Recent exhibitions include Traditions, Muzeo Museum (Anaheim, CA, 2023-2024), Stranger At My Door, General Projects (Los Angeles, CA 2023), and ROOTS/RAIZ, Brand Library (Glendale, CA 2023).

East LA native, Ashley Jennae Garcia, is a custom paint nail artist. Growing up blocks away from the boulevard, her family, specifically her grandfather, enveloped her in the chopper and lowrider lifestyle. Present day she owns her own nail studio, Studio 93. Ashley has mixed her love for creating out of the box nail sets with her love of cruising. She incorporates similar techniques to those seen in lowrider paint jobs to her nail art. As a self made nail artist of 10 years, she has impacted the Chicano community unlike no other.
Most recently she has branched into the art world, displaying her nail sets as a form of installation. She has shown her work with Nunca Siempre for “Xicana Y Que”, Munzón Gallery for “Sitting on Chrome” and The Clarke Estate for “Nuestra Vida”

Mark Anthony Hocutt (b. 1995 Whittier, CA) is a kustom automotive painter that works primarily in the automotive industry restoring and customizing car builds while also creating kustom painted plexiglass or metal panels. Hocutt’s education in traditional airbrush and automotive paint was built through various mentorships outside of a traditional academic setting. He has exhibited his work nationally with Flatline Gallery, Munzon Gallery, and Motherling. Fall of 2024 he will have his debut solo exhibition, “Diamond in the Rough”, with Munzon Gallery.
Growing up near Whittier Blvd, Hocutt regularly experienced over-the-top patterned lowriders, hot rods, and restored classics. By the age of sixteen he had come to own his first project car, a 1984 El Camino, gifted to him by an uncle. Through years of hard work Mark’s admiration evolved into automotive building and customization. He would spend years and various apprenticeships learning the skills needed to mirror classic lowrider stylings from the 60s and 70s. By the age of twenty-five he became the owner of his own auto body shop that doubled as a creative space, The Kolor Studio.
