Art attack: Charles Glaubitz's "Los Eternos 2.0"

You are, Am I? I am

Acrylic on canvas, 36x36”, 2008

The work of Tijuana-based Charles Glaubitz isn't soft and nice. But amid the art world's slew of wide-eyed anime characters or paintings of flaccid tulips, we enjoy the jarring visual suckerpunch of this Mexico-based painter's work. His new body of acrylics, Los Eternos 2.0, features worlds colliding to create new universes, epic battles and weird, mean-looking Mickey Mouses. We're into it.

Glaubitz has shown at such cred-worthy galleries as Merry Karnowsky and Gallery 1988. This weekend, he heads up for his first-ever Los Angeles solo show at the Echo Park art space Tropico de Nopal.
