Dave Lefner
Power Struggle (To the Right)

2010

About the Item

Signed, titled and numbered by the artist in pencil. Reduction linocut, 2 colors, edition of 6. As a native-born Angeleno, artist Dave Lefner has always had a love for the city around him. He is best known for his images of the aging neon signs, storefronts, and architecture of Los Angeles, ranging from the Valley to Hollywood, to his current home of Downtown L.A. Since earning his degree in Art from the California State University at Northridge, he has focused on documenting the history of LA through its urban landscape. Even in his chosen medium of reduction linocuts, he hopes to further his goal of preservation. Because of the immediacy of today's world, the labor-intensive, process-oriented technique of block printing is being lost and forgotten in the face of a digital age. But for Lefner, the beautiful mystery of this process, as the piece slowly reveals itself with each new color, is worth preserving as much as his subject matter, his city- a ciudad of angels. Lefner works in very small editions, rarely more than 10.

  • Fireworks Over The River
    By Daniel Gonzalez
    Located in Palm Springs, CA
    Signed, titled and numbered from the edition of 50. This illustration is used in the book The Ballad of Huck and Miguel - a re-telling of Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, set in contemporary times and centering around Huck and an illegal immigrant in the urban environment of the Los Angeles River. A young boy looking up at a starlit night sky. Artist statement: “My life has been shared between two countries, the United States and Mexico. I’ve experienced the hard rural life of my parents in Mexico and the dangerous and fragmented life of the inner city. I am a person made up from experiences from both of these worlds. I am Mexican but I am also American and I can slip between these two worlds with ease and exist in both simultaneously. Culture does not honor borders. Culture is about change and growth. My work is inspired by the folk stories that my parents and grandparents have passed on. I have a desire to invent and share my own narratives and vision through printmaking. I want to be able to communicate through the image an invitation to tell a new story to be told or an old one to be remembered." Daniel Gonzalez was raised in Los Angeles, and received his training at the California College of Arts and Crafts. He also apprenticed with Artemio Rodriguez...
