Albert Reyes will unveil new works in a two-man show alongside Andres Guerrero tomorrow night at Subliminal Projects LA. Eager to see what this weird/awesome/talented/insightful guy has in store, we now present a few of our favorite pieces Reyes will be showing off.

Reyes prefers to reference pop culture and dabbles into the contextual spheres of politics, religion and life in L.A. "My view of the world is from L.A.," says Reyes. "My view is through the L.A. media, taking in the culture, the people, the vastness of L.A. No one can escape the Hollywood impact."

Stylistically, the two artists are equally divergent. Reyes' works often consist of pencil and pen line drawings, rendered on the backsides of book covers, wood panels and the occasional found object.

While they vary in detail from folk-like simplicity to photorealism, they always seem to carry a quality of surreal wisdom, with subject matter that is both stranger than fiction and funny because it's true.

Albert Reyes’ show with Andres Guerrero will open February 6th, 2010 at Subliminal Projects in Los Angeles.
