Spotlight on Talent and Performance

About the Spotlight Artist

Each month we illustrate our Spotlight package with a series of works from an accomplished artist. The lively and cerebral creations of these photographers, painters, and installation artists are meant to infuse our pages with additional energy and intelligence to amplify what are often complex and abstract concepts.

This month we feature the work of Alvaro Ilizarbe (also known as Freegums), a Los Angeles–based artist who was born in Lima, Peru. Ilizarbe’s influences include pre-Columbian art, textiles, and tile patterns. Color, he says, is an artist’s way of prescribing feelings, and thus he chooses to work in black and white to create a purer connection with viewers. More of his work can be seen at freegums.net.
