Alfredo Gonzalez (Dofre) 'Persistencia' Print Available

Artist: Alfredo Gonzalez (Dofre)
Title: Persistencia
Medium: Hand Embellished Giclee on Canvas
Size: 16 x 20 Inches
Edition: 20
Prices: $170

 

Alfredo Gonzalez, known by his artist name Dofre, is an Oxnard-based contemporary artist whose work merges his graffiti roots with traditional oil painting to create a unique style of deconstructed portraiture. His art explores themes of identity, impermanence, and transformation, focusing on capturing the profound, quiet moments that alter a person's life path.
Gonzalez's artistic process is a blend of precision and raw distortion. He uses layered textures, aerosol, and oil to build and break down form, resulting in figures that shift dynamically between realism and abstraction. This deliberate erasure and disruption of form creates a sense of movement and blurs the line between presence and decay, creation and loss. The human face is a frequent and central subject in his work, used to explore the emotional breadth of shared human experiences.
His work has been exhibited in Los Angeles and across the East Coast, with pieces held in private collections worldwide. Notable exhibitions include solo shows at the Grand Bohemian Galleries in Savannah and St. Augustine in 2023. Gonzalez also engages in collaborations, including working with fellow artist Shepard Fairey, with whom he created a hybrid collaboration piece, embodying the principle of art as a mechanism for peace. Through his art, Gonzalez seeks to foster a dialogue about the human experience, approaching it from a perspective of shared understanding and intimacy. His unique voice is cemented in the contemporary portraiture scene through his compelling fusion of street art energy and fine art technique

Stephanie Inagaki 'Eternity' Print Available

Artist: Stephanie Inagaki
Title: Eternity
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 24 x 13 Inches
Edition: 20
Price: $95

Stephanie Inagaki is a Japanese-American artist and metalsmith based in Los Angeles who weaves personal memory, folklore and the female form into haunting charcoal drawings and sculptural wearables. Born in Los Angeles to a Japanese mother and Mexican-American father, she earned a BFA from Boston University and an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, training that grounded her technical skill yet left room for cultural excavation. Her monochrome portraits depict women, often self-portraits, whose flowing hair transforms into crows, snakes, feathers or kimono silk, symbols she chooses for their layered meaning: crows suggest loyalty, hair stands in for emotional bonds, and foxes echo the trickster spirit Kitsune of her heritage.

By collaging delicate Japanese washi paper onto velvety charcoal passages she creates depth that feels both antique and immediate, a visual equivalent to the way identity accretes over time. Inagaki also founded Miyu Decay, a line of hand-crafted jewelry that extends her mythic vocabulary into brass, silver and gold adornments shaped like tiny talons, vertebrae or crow skulls, allowing wearers to carry her narrative world on the body. Her first solo exhibition Metamorphosis at Century Guild, Los Angeles, sold out, and she continues to show internationally while contributing to the collaborative Temple of Art documentary project alongside peers like David Mack and Bill Sienkiewicz. Through every drawing, necklace or large-scale mixed-media piece, Inagaki invites viewers to confront dualities of life and death, creation and destruction, crafting a personal mythology where strength and vulnerability coexist in elegant, macabre harmony.

Never Made 'Ice Cold Fascism' (Red) Print Available

Title: Ice Cold Fascism (Red)
Medium: 2 Color Screen Print
Size: 18 x 24 Inches
Edition: 100

Francisco Reyes Jr., better known as Never Made, is a Los Angeles born graphic artist who transforms urban energy into bold, story driven imagery. Raised in Compton, he grew up immersed in skate culture, punk shows and Chicano mural traditions, influences that now pulse through his clean vector lines and rich color palettes. After studying graphic design, Reyes spent a decade as a creative director while painting at night, eventually choosing art full time and adopting the alias Never Made to stress continual reinvention. Working in both digital illustration and handpulled screen prints, he layers flat shapes with subtle textures, creating a signature look that feels halfway between mid-century poster art and contemporary streetwear graphics. Limited edition concert prints for hip-hop and punk acts sold out in minutes.
Despite commercial success, Reyes keeps his process personal: colour ways begin on spontaneous late-night walks, and final separations are still inked by hand to preserve imperfections. Murals across LA, Long Beach and Brooklyn enlarge his narratives to building scale, yet retain the intimate detail that rewards close inspection.
Reyes describes his mission as “visual storytelling for the restless,” a goal that propels constant experimentation from laser-cut wood reliefs to animated LED panels ensuring Never Made stays true to its name by never standing still.
