Jon Napoles: Devil City will feature nine works by an emerging local artist. In 2012, Napoles’ artistic practice arose out of a side job flipping houses. Today, he is a self-described Southern Fauve, painting images of revelry on reclaimed window panes. His media also include photo-transfer and acrylic on panel. This exhibition focuses on a world built around a strange cast of mammalian creatures who communicate through jovial speech bubbles. Inspired by artist Raymond Pettibon and the Punk/DIY (Do-It-Yourself) art movement of the late 1970s, Napoles appropriates imagery from bathroom stalls and bar culture, mining his personal narrative as subject matter for his work.
