Marco Almera "Resurgence"
Marco Almera began his artistic career in the Southern California Surf/Skate/Punk/Rock culture of the early 80's. As a teenager, Almera was inspired by the do-it-yourself style of this culture, and created his own t-shirts and stylized graphics. His underground art style has always gravitated to this world of surfing, music, cars, pinup girls and California culture, and he remains a dedicated representative to this way of life. Almera created T-shirt art and album covers for bands such as Sublime, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Primus, Ween and Reverend Horton Heat, rock music posters and commissioned paintings. Almera's originals have been collected by a diverse range of celebrities such as James Hetfield of Metallica, Randy Hild, President of ROXY (Quiksilver,) artist Frank Kozik, Jonathan Dupree, head of the Art Department for Paul Frank Industries, top New York lawyer Stephen Fantozzi and many others. In the past few years, Almera has made a transition from primarily music related artwork to almost entirely fine art. Besides his private commissioned work, the artist has been involved in a continuous succession of gallery showings. Almera’s “Resurgence” show at La Luz de Jesus Gallery will include all new works in acrylic on canvas.
