Casey Niccoli, the visionary artist behind the iconic Been Caught Stealing video, is set to unveil her latest works at La Matadora. This award-winning, self-taught multimedia artist has been a driving force in the alternative music and art scenes of the late 1980s and early 1990s. With a career spanning multiple mediums, including album cover art, music video direction, and film, Niccoli’s work is a testament to her boundless creativity and innovative spirit.
Carlos Ramirez, a rising star in the art world, will be showcasing his captivating mixed media works, which draw heavily from his Mexican American heritage and the vibrant culture of California pop art. His paintings, collages, and sculptures are a true reflection of his roots, with elements of graffiti, street murals, and traditional Mexican art woven throughout his pieces.
Artist Martha Rich will also be making a splash at Hey There Projects gallery, with her eye-popping collection of painted wood and steel cut-out pieces set to wow audiences. Rich’s work is a masterclass in color, texture, and composition, making her a standout in the Joshua Tree art scene.
