Armando Lerma, known to many as a member of the former artist collective Date Farmers, offers a solo show of new work this month, in which he continues his experiments with augmented, manipulated hand-painted signs. His unique style blends vintage objects and traditionally derived motifs into a kind of post-Pop Chicano folk-art style, with a lively aesthetic and a profound core of commentary.
