It is with great pleasure and honor that we present “Backtracking 199485,” a solo exhibition by Rigo 23: new large scale mixed media drawings with text on canvas with handmade zines accompanying each new work. Rigo’s graphic imagery borrows stylistically from signage, advertising, cartoons, logos and newsprint photography.
San Francisco has always been regarded as a “safe haven” for social experimentation; and as a place where differences enriched rather than divided the socio-political landscape. San Francisco was a sanctuary town, which welcomed individuals fleeing from war and hunger. San Francisco welcomed people moving towards freedom of expression -- sexually, politically, socially, artistically and spiritually; and as Rigo says, who “…at least walked towards a better and more humane collective future.”
