For almost a decade Peter Quezada, a prolific self-taught
artist, painted murals and lettering on buildings and retaining
walls in neighborhoods northeast of downtown Los Angeles. He refers
to his work as a "graffiti deterrent" or a "substitute for
graffiti," and he targets sites that are favorites of taggers and
gang graffiti writers. Often he enlists their assistance and
designs his murals to appeal to these youths as well as to
discourage them from participating in antisocial behavior.
Highlighting the interplay of contemporary life, mass-media
images that confront the public, and the use of physical space in
the city landscape, "Chicano Graffiti and Murals" shows how such
art as Quezada's has become the signature of modern urban
culture.
