I happened across Escondido's Center For The Arts on a day that was free...yeah! I saw works from several different artists. Ernest Silva's works reminded me of my brothers old elementary reading books. I really enjoyed Iana Quesnell's work. She drew pencil drawings of the places she lived in. They were amazing architectural drawings with serious detail, like an unmade bed or a broom in a closet. They were all drawn from the perspective of look straight down on the property and the landscaping was amazing!! Raul Guerrero's work was part fun and part serious. He first had on display a huge 6 x 10 ft. hamburger which my kids would have loved. The others were more border art. The huge mural look to be about Mexican immigrants trying to cross the border. This image was then juxtaposed with images of Nike and other large corporation magazine advertisements. I guess we dont want them here but we do want the cheap services. The other works I really did not enjoy mainly because I didn't understand what the message was. The artist name was May-ling Martinez. She had odd books stacked on antique furniture which was also stacked up. Anyway, this was the first time at this museum and I thought It was pretty nice and best of all it was close to home.
