Evan Hynes has created a language of storytelling that is highly visible in Rebel Alliance, his first solo show at Tierra del Sol Gallery. Join us Sunday, August 18th, as he walks through the concepts, stories, and choices he’s made for this body of work.
Evan Hynes (b. 1990) is an artist working in the realm of drawing and storytelling. He studied Art History and English at Mt. San Antonio College and has been making drawings and art since high school. With his knowledge of Art History and cinema Evan has created a language of storytelling, all his own which often includes his love of dark comedy. His use of appropriation allows the viewer to connect with his work on an immediate level but once you read the text and titles a more complex narrative unfolds. Evan uses a mixture of graphite, pens, illustration markers and colored pencils for a controlled color saturation that allows multilayers to be seen. He’s been part of the Tierra del Sol arts program for seven years and has participated in a number of group exhibitions as well as curated for First Street Gallery in Claremont, CA. Evan was born in West Covina and currently lives in East Covina, CA.

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 🙂
We would like to remind you that we are open for business on Monday, October 14th, provided all goes well for our brave firefighters over the course of the next two days!
We will continue to monitor the situation and update you and your families with any new decisions made. Until then, many prayers for a safe weekend.
