INTERVIEW / maRsEa goldbERg
INTRO / liz rice McCray
This month we have the pleasure of featuring Coachella-based artist Carlos Ramirez, formerly one half of the art duo The date Farmers. Ramirez’s new body of work is stunningly multidimensional, integrating mexican ico- nography with embedded catholic symbolism, and it is peppered with political and pop culture innuendos. Just as multi-faceted as the subject matter, the body of work is structurally textured as well. Ramirez employs various house paints and acrylic in his work, as well as found objects from the “City of Eternal sunshine.” We asked good friend marsea goldberg of New Image art gallery to ask Carlos a couple of questions about his art, an upcoming film project and the Coachella Valley. many thanks to marsea and Carlos for taking the time and energy for such a lovely interview..
