Mel Casas: Artist as Cultural Adjuster

Mel Casas: Artist as Cultural Adjuster showcases the work of American Pop Artist Mel Casas. In Casas’ hands Pop Art became a vehicle for cultural, social and political commentary from a Chicano point-of-view. His signature “Humanscape” paintings were designed as "impact pieces" intended to challenge the viewer into a reconsideration of the cultural myths and social stereotypes so pervasive in mainstream American life. In creating these paintings, Casas sought to create "an art for humanity's sake."
