🚨💥 NEW YORK 💥🚨 We are thrilled to announce Mario Ayala’s (@lostbros) TRUCK STOP opening next Saturday, September 10! 😍 Marking the artist’s first major solo show in the city, Ayala brings Southern California’s Inland Empire to New York. The truck stop chapel, tire shop and roadside billboard that he has installed in the gallery create the context for his new work. Ayala’s meticulously crafted paintings extend the American Pop tradition into the present, drawing on a unique combination of art historical and vernacular influences shaped through his own life experience.
