You Don’t Have To Lie To Kick It

Monday, 28 September 2009 11:00

La verdad no duele pero ah como incomoda. Reality is something Patrick Ramirez, an L.A. native artiste likes to inject his works with. In all his previous works he has something to say, a statement to make, an issue to tackle… this time around is no different. For “You Don’t Have To Lie To Kick It”, his newest exhibit and installation, Patrick Ramirez gives in his two cents via some badass art about the recession and its impact on young families, los chavos y el lenguaje callejero, así como el amor within the urban community… ni la chota se salva, since he also focuses on the relationship between authority and the masses.  Now this is arte con conciencia a todo lo que da.   

Even though many criticize Patrick’s art for incorporating lots of violence and gang-related situations, he wants YOU to know that he is not perpetuating this kind of activities, si no todo lo contrario, he mentions “I wasn’t about gangs, I was about art and producing it, but I can understand the complexities of street life and it’s by in my subject matter.”

La neta es que es una exhibición de arte única y padrísima. Ch-ch-ch check it out!
