Mexican-Japanese artist Shizu Saldamando's portraits of artists and friends at Oxy Arts show a thriving Latinx art movement. Rafa Esparza, Ramiro Gomez, poet Raquel Gutiérrez and Guadalupe Rosales are some of the faces on the walls.
For Frieze Projects inside this year’s Frieze Los Angeles, curators Rita Gonzalez and Pilar Tompkins Rivas asked artists to examine the representation of Latinos and others in movies and on TV.“Phantom Sightings: Art after the Chicano Movement,”
Her versions featured neat renderings of New Wave musicians such as Siouxsie Sioux of Siouxsie and the Banshees. It was as much a nod to obscure forms of art making as it was to popular culture. What her work proposed, noted the catalog essay on her work for “Phantom Sightings,” is “a decidedly contemporary take on portraiture.”The diversity of influences, to some degree, speaks to Saldamando’s roots.
Her mother came from a Japanese-American family that for a time lived in Boyle Heights but had their lives turned upside down when World War II came around and they were shipped off to internment camps.
