CHICANO ART MOVEMENT visits: Raul Baltazar 2024

(Announcement sandwich board of “Welcome to the Bunny House” -Raul Baltazar)

CAM:

The street team crew headed over to Chapman University’s Guggenheim Gallery to catch the last days of Raul Baltazar's “Welcome to the Bunny House.” This collection of paintings by Los Angeles-based artists were created between 2020 and 2024.

(Foreground: “La Bota (The Boot)” - mixed media, 2024; right wall: “Glass House” - acrylic on canvas, 2023; left wall: “Huitzilopochtli (Sun God at war with stars and moon to protect his mother Coatlicue) - acrylic on canvas, 2020) 

 The exhibition title is in relation to Baltazar’s former abode located in Echo Park which was “a sanctuary where art, spirit and levity converged, inviting participants to contemplate the transformative potential inherent in embracing indigenous roots and finding solace through creative expression” that influenced “Baltazar’s distinctive painting style and affirming his paintings as extension of his social practice.”

(“El Nagual (Tonal Animal Within)” - acrylic on canvas, 2021) 

 After crossing the entrance, Baltazar’s art captured Anita’s attention and enveloped her in the abstract expressionism style. Each work was created with details and filled with movement.

(“F/E (Forever)” - acrylic on canvas, 2024) 

 And Baltazar placed various elements of the leporidae animal family in specific locations within the Guggenheim Gallery walls.

(“Portrait of a Young Artist with T7” - mixed medium sculpture, 2024) 

 This is the portrait that I contemplated on the most. As a mixed piece, it broke the dimensional plane via its large, fuzzy nose and exaggerated whiskers which were outlandish and intriguing. The exhibition dates for this show were from January 31, 2024 to March 15, 2024 at the Guggenheim Gallery on the Chapman University campus in Orange, California.

Curious minds are wondering if they can read bota without having read much of homestuck...

i'm giggling. i THINK that you can, because it's nearly original fiction -- it's set THOUSANDS of years before the homestuck canon and concerns characters who only exist in a few pages of exposition. however understanding of the time loops and timeline dynamics IS easier with a homestuck background.... but those things were integral enough to the plotting that they're also explained thru exposition early on.

the plot is about a chronically ill telekinetic little freak of a man psychically discovering that his traitor-to-the-state moirail (platonic soulmate) is going to be burnt at the stake. and his attempts to stop it by splitting off from the canon homestuck timeline. and the question of whether those attempts to stop it will just hasten the moirail's demise instead. and the HORRIBLE fights that he and his moirail and their shared wife all get into along the way.

you can read it here and if you DO read it without reading much homestuck, let me know if it's comprehensible, bc i'm Really curious.
