Description
Eamon Ore-Giron Competing with Lightning is the first comprehensive monograph on the artist's work. This catalogue brings together three pivotal chapters in Eamon Ore-Giron's career, showcasing his exploration of Latinx identity, the history of the Americas, and abstraction in art. Raised in Tucson and inspired by his roots in the American Southwest and Peru, Ore-Giron's practice examines the personal and historical ramifications of cultural hybridity. The book features a range of works, including figurative pieces from the 2000s, paintings that blend figuration and abstraction, and sublime gold-based works from his recent "Infinite Regress" series. Curator Miranda Lash, along with scholars C. Ondine Chavoya and Jace Clayton, provide insight into Ore-Giron's approach to de-colonizing painting, his impact on the Los Angeles art scene, and his work as a DJ that highlights the intersections between North and South American sound.
