Bombs
Not Bread
- Silkscreen print 14" x 20" $25.00
Printed
in 1983, the posters depict a military "calaca"
- Mexican/Chicano slang for skeleton - along
with text that serves as a mocking inversion
of the peace movement's slogan, "Bread
Not Bombs". Orignially a street poster,
the print was included in the 1984 traveling
antiwar exhibit, End of the Rainbow, organized
by the Los Angeles based performance art group,
Sisters of Survival (S.O.S.). The show toured
the U.S. and Europe and included works by
artists Leon Golub, Nancy Spero, Jerry Kearns,
and Judy Baca.
Each
print is hand-signed and numbered by the artist.

Calaca
(Skull) - Monoprint 6" x 8"
$50.00
Vallen created these multicolored monoprints
for Day of the Dead in 2002. The artist hand-painted
the image directly on a sheet of glass with
oil paints. A piece of paper was then laid
over the painting and gently burnished. Removing
the paper revealed a perfect "mirror image"
print. No two monoprints are alike! Each print
is hand-signed and dated by the artist. When
ordering, state your preference for a hot
or cool color scheme.
