​Munzón Gallery is excited to announce Priscilla Sandra Flores first solo exhibition with the gallery "Loud Bark," opening Saturday November 16th from 6-9pm and will remain on view through December 21, 2024.

​

​

'Loud Bark' is a new series of paintings and drawings that were created by Priscilla Sandra Flores in response to the consumption of day-to-day contemporary economic and societal pressures. Influenced by the works of William Blake and Larry Madrigal, whose imaginary worlds are consumed by the commotion of what exists in them, Flores focuses on relationships with substance use, people, culture and herself. She is the subject or a stand-in model of domestic or mystic narratives that encapsulate the chaos, grit and emptiness that live in a moment. Examining her life as it is now, pulling and twisting every feeling and experience to ultimately create a vague shape of what life looks like under pressure, heartbroken, in love and forever in flux.

 

Priscilla Sandra Flores (b. 1993) is a first generation Mexican-American painter born in Los Angeles and raised in the San Gabriel Valley. Storytelling is a big component in her work. At an early age, she gained interest in narration as she felt close to her family’s stories of their southern Mexican Catholic life. She frequently uses self-portraiturature to discuss the relationship to the body and sensuality that shaped her Mexican upbringing within a homogenized American culture. Priscilla’s current work reflects her identity and sexuality.

 

Priscilla received a BFA in Drawing and Painting from the School of Art, California State University, Long Beach in 2019. She has exhibited  nationally and internationally at art venues  including Munzón Gallery, Thinkspace Projects, Tlaloc Studios, Stay Gallery, Open Gallery Long Beach, and the STRAAT Museum.
