Flores is best known for his self-proclaimed “Stained Glass” and mosaic or segmented style. The impact of Flores’ graphic style comes in its ability to allow the viewer to reinterpret a popular image they already have associations with. Flores’ murals, acrylic paintings and sculptures have many iconic images, including images of late artists such as Andy Warhol, Salvador Dalí, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Robert Crumb.

Untitled (Sunset Media Center 1), 2014

Mixed media on canvas

Dirk De Bruycker (1955 – 2015) is a Belgian-born artist who lived in between Santa Fe, NM and Granada, Nicaragua. “I think some of the intensity and sensuality of Latin America has crept into my work. There is a feeling of unease here below the surface that is palpable and yet it is so beautiful here. The force of life here is so strong; it permeates everything- you can literally hear things grow. I think it is some of that intensity of life, which is very different from my cooler northern European sensibilities, that I have allowed to surface in the paintings.”
