Chicano artist Gilbert "Magu" Lujan passed away over the weekend after battling cancer, but his work and efforts in bringing Chicano art to national attention will not be forgotten. His work is seen each day by hundreds of people who take get on and off at the Metro Red Line Station and Hollywood and Vine. His colorful and energetic work can be seen inset into the walls on a bunch of tiles. Also you can see more of his work on his website: magulandia.
Next month there will be an exhibition of his work celebrating his achievements - More details to come.
