Mr. Lopez was born in 1974 in East Los Angeles. He has worked in the public art arena for over 10 years and has helped to implement city art programming in Los Angeles and in Istanbul, Turkey. He currently curates art shows in both of these cities and represents artists. Perhaps Mr. Lopez’s greatest accomplishment to date is being the founder and executive director of Aden Art Center established in Istanbul, Turkey in 2002. It is there that he created a national program including art workshops for young artists, an emerging artist program, an international program that includes an artist-in-residence program and an exchange component for festivals. As an artist, Mr. Lopez has done numerous murals and art commissions and, in 2005, his social art project entitled “Does Religion Kill?” was held in conjunction with the 9th Istanbul Biennial. Later, in the fall of 2006, he will redo the project at 18th Street Arts Center in Santa Monica. He is also redeveloping the artist-in-residence program at 18th Street Arts Center. |
