Israel Campos: Scorched Landscapes

Israel Campos' black and white "Tacuache Brings Fire" depicts indigenous people around a fire.

Tiger Strikes Asteroid Greenville is excited to share its next exhibition, Scorched Landscapes, a solo exhibition with new work by L.A.-based printmaker and interdisciplinary artist, Israel Campos. The exhibition will run from January 11 – February 8, 2025, with an opening reception on Saturday January 11 from 6-9 p.m.

In Scorched Landscapes, Israel Campos explores Chican/o/a/x motifs to examine aspects of Mexican-American identity amidst environmental and cultural destruction as it is seen and felt within Los Angeles, California. Campos leverages the flatness and lack of perspectival illusionistic space recognizable in the Mesoamerican codices, incorporates figurative stylizations, and works with material metaphor.
