"1201" L.A. Mejias Solo Exhibition at Open Space Arts

LA Mejias, a product of Prince William County Public Schools and a participant in the April 2022 Emerging Artists Exhibit at Open Space Arts, presented by Prince William Arts Council has displayed the passion that Michelangelo spoke to when he said, “A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.” With a meticulously crafted ensemble of works that explore social commentary and individuality using bold colors strong words and evoking deep emotion from viewers, L.A. "Zero" Mejias believes that we can be rewired through our own thoughts. His words, lines, and images are an extension of this belief, and are a visual attempt to guide rewire the viewer. The skeletal like faces of L.A.'s characters, texturized brush strokes along with straight from tube to canvas absent of brush use of paints appear to be influenced by Basquiat's hurried, improvisational style. Combine that with his love for walking on the completed work barefoot to feel the essence of his paintings, there comes a passion and story that each piece he creates have unlike the one before. Visit us during this this unique exhibition to get a chance to view and purchase his early works while they are still affordable.
