Mindy Solomon Gallery artists and brothers Einar and Jamex de la Torre are known for their mixed media works based upon their Mexican-American bi-cultural experience. LA Weekly describes their work as a “raucous parade of unlikely icons, sabotaged masterpieces, reconstituted artifacts and cock-eyed renditions of just about anything you can think of.”
