Jaime Zacarias aka GERMS “Fasho” @ Luz De Jesus Gallery Hollywood CA

Opening Reception: Friday, June 1st

CAM:
On June 1st I was able to make it out to Jaime “Germs” Zacarias “Fasho” exhibit at Lus De Jesus Gallery in Hollywood, California. This was my first time to Luz De Jesus since the move from Melrose avenue many moons ago. I arrived to the gallery about 8:30ish and fortunately was able to take some good pictures before the masses arrived. This was my first ever Germs art exhibit, I had only seen individual pieces in person and it was a real treat to view “Fasho” in the flesh. I also got to meet Jaime and had him sign a showcard of the exhibit for me. In conjunction with Jaime’s show Dave Lebow’s “End Time Visions” and Jason D’Aquino “Phillumeny” also were exhbiting at Luz De Jesus Gallery. Mr. Zacarias work garnered the most of the art goers attention opening night with his amazing use of color and his tentacled mask monsters and hilarious titles on the paintings, like “Te La Llavas,” “Dale Gas” and “Mas Puto.” “Fasho” runs until July 1.

La Luz de Jesus Presents: GERMS’ “FaSho” — Music: “Every Six Seconds” by The Surf Monks

La Luz de Jesus Gallery, 4633 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood CA 90027 (inside WACKO).

GERMS’ most recent body of work is titled “Fasho,” a term which reaffirms an unspoken agreement between the artist and the viewers, to look at the familiar as filtered through the warped mind of GERMS.

This is GERMS’ first exhibition at La Luz de Jesus Gallery.

The artist will be in attendance.

MUSIC: The Surf Monks “Every Six Seconds.”

Jaime Zacarias aka GERMS “Fasho” @ Luz De Jesus Gallery
June 1 - July 1, 2012
Opening Reception: Friday, June 1st; 8-11 PM

South Los Angeles native Jaime Zacarias aka GERMS is seemingly infected with an innate ability to channel the spirits of our surrealist predecessors, slapping our eyeballs with his grotesque yet amusing iconography and ameoba like characters while simultaneously referencing post-Chicano culture and imagery. He is known for cleverly stylized Luchador masks given life by their protruding tentacles, surrounded by floating amoebas that playfully flirt with their viewers’ imaginations. 

Says GERMS, “I find myself mesmerized by the seemingly infinite details and borderline infectious behaviors of each character I create, while striving to transform and challenge the traditional interpretations of the icons we all know so well.” The viewer is drawn into a complex layering of cultural references; comfortable and familiar, often times playful and childlike imagery, which may, however, mask the dark and sinister - but which is imbued with an innocent sense of “anything is possible” in the World of GERMS. 

GERMS most recent body of work is titled “Fasho,” a term which affirms an unspoken agreement between the artist and the viewers of his work to look at the familiar as filtered through the mind of GERMS and see something never before seen.”Fasho”, also meaning “for sure” is a play on words –giving the artist total freedom to use the space as a playground.
