About the artist

’s (b.1983, East Los Angeles, CA) drawings and paintings are informed by his immediate surroundings. Each piece is a careful examination of elements found around his environment: books, records, boxes, houseplants, various elements from his home, his neighborhood, and studio. López relies on observation, memories, materiality, touch, and presence to evoke a feeling of familiarity in the compositions. Manuel López grew up in Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles. He attended East Los Angeles College, transferred to The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) where he earned his BFA in painting and drawing. He has exhibited in institutions, galleries, and museums internationally and nationwide including Crocker Art Museum, Atkinson Gallery at Santa Barbara City College, Baik Gallery - Seoul, Vincent Price Art Museum, Charlie James Gallery, and Self Help Graphics among others. He lives and works in East Los Angeles and is represented by Charlie James Gallery.
