Artist Hugo Rocha gives his audience a view into another world with his unique vision of interiors, patterns, and people. He is inspired by telenovelas, turning cinematic stills into brightly colored folkloric compositions.
Often working to soundtracks, and singing as he conceives his interiors, Rocha builds rhythm and density through colors, patterns and line work. This pictorial immediacy engages the viewer with Rocha’s intimate inner world that transforms sound and space into environments and characters, creating scenes from the mundane to the extraordinary.
Rocha, who has been working with the progressive studios of Tierra del Sol in Los Angeles since 2007, creates artwork that is highly narrative and uses design elements similar to the traditions of important outsider artists. The vernacular of bold colors, simplified figures, and abstracted forms situate Rocha’s work in conversation with art legends including William H Johnson and Martin Ramirez.
Tierra del Sol Gallery is pleased to be presenting Hugo Rocha’s first solo show opening September 14, 2019. Rocha has previously exhibited in group shows in New York and Los Angeles.
Tierra is excited to feature artwork from our Progressive Studios at Bob Blumenfield’s Reseda Rising! Come check out our booth and support the incredibly talented artists in Tierra’s Careers in the Arts programs. We hope to see you there 🙂

Helen Rae, and the Artists of Tierra del Sol, bring their unique vision to the Claremont Museum of Art!
Thirty years ago, a group of visionary artists from Tierra del Sol opened the doors of the First Street Gallery Art Center in Claremont. Since then, Tierra, and its hundreds of trailblazing artists, have been in the vanguard, forging professional pathways, while advancing the cause of inclusivity in the art world.
The Claremont Museum of Art exhibition Vanguard: Origins of Tierra del Sol Arts in Claremont featuring Helen Rae, co-curated by Rebecca Hamm and Paige Wery, represents 15 artists from the Claremont years whose remarkable creative expressions have influenced and enriched contemporary art in Southern California and beyond.
Helen Rae’s drawings will be featured in the Museum’s main gallery, while the atrium will feature works in various media by Anthony Barnes, John Boyer, Jose Del Rio, Mary Lou Dimsdale, Leon Fuller, Michael LeVell, Jackie Marsh, John Maull, Dru McKenzie, John Peterson, Hugo Rocha, Vicente Siso, Isabel Vartanian and Joe Zaldivar, all of whom work or have worked with the Tierra del Sol studios.
