Recuerdos, Sonrisas y Recientes is a first attempt to show the scope and breath of the works of Jose Lozano. Lozano is a modern Chicano social commentator in the sprit of Cruikshank, Daumier, Rowlanson, Gillray and Hogarth. His drawings and paintings reflect his ability to cut to the chase and depict the inner pinnings of everyday people. His world is populated by Luchadores, Mami-Chulas and Papi-Chulos. They all seem oblivious to the fact that they have been caught in the act of living. This show features a few of his early works which are rarely exhibited, let alone available for purchase. These show the deep base on which his well known “Scrafitto” drawings are based on. The pastel and acrylic works of people having fun are both intimate and public. The spatial relationships of the subjects makes them each stand out and stand on their own. His subjects are usually engaged in daily activities and they are not, shall we say, handsome. Lozano captures the inner disposition of his figures in the usually grimaced faces they have. His technique may seem a bit cartoonish, however, looking closely one can see the undeniable technical ability of this artist.
