The exhibition title is inspired by a work, Mi Vida, which was recently rescued from demolition by art collector Cindy Gabriel. Trevino painted the monumental mural on the wall of his bedroom while recovering from war injuries sustained in Vietnam. This exhibition will be the first time the mural is seen by the public. Jesse Trevino: Mi Vida will be comprised of approximately 50 paintings, including two works from the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, 20 works on paper, as well as ephemera documenting Trevino's life. 10/22 - 2/28/2010 at Museo Alameda. http://www.thealameda.org/
He also painted a great version of The Alameda Theatre on Houston St.
ReplyDeleteHey Mess, he also did a fabulous mural for the main library. Next time you're there go by the auditorium. He painted the marquees of SA's great theatre houses, some of which are no longer around. And he also did the tile work at Santa Rosa's Children Hospital downtown.
