The Denver Art Museum spotlights local artists and more for a special lowrider exhibition.
Lowriders are especially significant for Favela. He grew up in a religious environment where representations of car culture were forbidden because of their perceived connotations of violence and criminality."When I got older, I realized that the way that the media portrays lowriders is not really true...and I realized that the lowrider is one of the most important art forms for the Chicano community," he says.
Working in white and silver, Favela used the sculpted lowrider's"paint work" to represent a trio of queer icons: Walter Mercado, Liberace and Juan Gabriel — none of whom came out in their lifetimes. The undercarriage, illuminated in gold, is a nod to the hero of the Club Q shooting, Richard Fierro, who drives a gold lowrider.
