Art Talks at Brand invites contemporary artists to discuss their work and the issues surrounding it. This talk features Danny Angel Escalante.
Art Talks at Brand invites contemporary artists to discuss their work and the issues surrounding it, followed by a moderated Q&A with Brand staff member, artist, and writer Jennifer Remenchik. Artists are selected to reflect the diversity of the art scene of the greater Los Angeles area.
Danny Angel Escalante is a Los Angeles-based artist. In his art practice, Escalante explores the quotidian, ranging from the phenomenological every-day to the historical class associations and experiences of the brown body. Inspired by historical works, his Catholic upbringing, indigenous heritage, and contemporary politics, Escalante creates drawings and sculptures that distill the body into gestures, marks, and traces. He received his MFA in Art from the California Institute of the Arts and MA in Studio Art from the CSU, Northridge. Escalante is an Adjunct Professor at Los Angeles City College and Citrus College. His work has been exhibited at several institutions and galleries, including VAMA Gallery at Los Angeles City College, The Window, QiPO, Torrance Art Museum, Tiger Strikes Asteroid, Grice Bench, Main Gallery at California Institute of the Arts, Orange County Center for Contemporary Art, Cirrus Gallery, and the Main Gallery at CSU, Northridge. Escalante is a former Board Member of Monte Vista Projects, 2015-2020, an artist run collective and gallery space. He is the founder Ford Ranger Gallery, a mobile gallery that brought art to unconventional spaces.
