<\/b>Historically known as a refuge for bohemians, San Francisco has welcomed those who\u2019ve veered off the beaten path with open arms. The city has been home to some of the most radical and unorthodox artists of our time.<\/p>\n

Acci\u00f3n Latina\u2019s upcoming group exhibition \u201cSomos\/Funky\u201d\u2014featuring 19 artists and running from Sept. 20-Nov. 8 at the Juan R. Fuentes Gallery\u2014seeks to celebrate this colorful history of counterculture with a vivid collection of artwork created by some of the curators\u2019 favorite, uncategorizable artists.<\/p>\n

Josu\u00e9 Rojas who, along with F\u00e1tima Ramirez co-curated the exhibit states, \u201cFor as long as I can remember, it\u2019s been the misfits, the beautiful weirdos\u2014they are the colors in the fabric of the SF I know and love. The show features people with a unique vision: An Afro-Latinx muralist, a queer chola OG, a southpaw hand-style king, an unsung mural restorer, a Mission exile paintress, children of refugees, bandits, misfits, undocumented documentors of counter-culture, fallen heroes Spain Rodriguez and TOPA\u2014these are SF\u2019s cutty native daughters and sons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Isaac Vazquez Avila is one of those interdisciplinary artists. Avila\u2019s artistic style is difficult to pinpoint and that\u2019s just how he prefers it. The indistinguishable peculiarity present in his pieces is what comes naturally for him. Fitting into a specific bracket of style is last on his list of priorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really care too much about trying to define it or find a very specific cemented explanation about my work,\u201d Avila said. \u201cI think the fun part is for someone else to see it and think to themselves, \u2018Maybe this is what this piece means. Maybe this is what\u2019s going on here but I\u2019m not sure.\u2019 The doubt and uncertainty that art can bring is what I feel is important.\u201d<\/p>\n

Avila was born in Mexico City, raised in Salt Lake City and has been living in the Bay Area for the past 16 years. The materials he incorporates into his sculptures are often found around the city, whether it be a flyer, pieces of paper, or a wooden frame someone happened to leave out on the curb. Avila is constantly drawing inspiration from his surroundings and names that quality as a typical mark of an artist.<\/p>\n

\u201cPart of what it is to be an artist is being curious and aware of your surroundings,\u201d Avila said. \u201cSo if I\u2019m out, I can\u2019t help but notice the spaces that I\u2019m in and maybe things that I can pull from them to use in my work. I\u2019m just always on the hunt for those kinds of things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Upon visiting artist Gustavo Mora\u2019s Oakland studio, curator F\u00e1tima Ramirez was struck by his bold abstract sketches of cars, skulls, and volcanoes. \u201cThese are images that we\u2019re surrounded by in the Mission that Gustavo reimagined, putting his spin on traditional Mexican linocut printing and watercolor, oil painting techniques even, ultimately resulting in the creation of his own imaginary world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat struck me about Gustavo\u2019s work was the repetition\u2014almost a mirroring of individual characters floating in noisy city scenes filled with scribbles and a type of cross-hatching in the background. I was intrigued and wanted to learn more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Familiarity with ourselves is on the forefront of Ramirez\u2019 mind, \u201cI love the way that Crystal Galindo and Valeria Olgu\u00edn remind us, perhaps women in particular, about the importance of loving our bodies unapologetically. For example, V\u00e1le invites us to make fun of ourselves, to let the world know we really like burritos y qu\u00e9? Crystal also has this great way of featuring powerful, underrepresented people, encouraging us to show our whole selves, including those tan lines and curvas some of us try to hide.\u201d<\/p>\n

Artist Anna Kirsch, also known as \u201cGirl on Bus\u201d poses for a portrait in March, 2019 inside her home studio in Pinole. Courtesy: Vanessa Vigil<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Another artist who\u2019s found inspiration in the streets of the city is painter Anna \u201cGirlonbus\u201d Kirsch. Girlonbus, who now lives in Vallejo, was born and raised in San Francisco up until the first dot com boom in the year 2000. She and her family were ultimately evicted. The impact San Francisco had on Girlonbus, however, has endured and is evident in her catalog of artwork growing up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up in the Excelsior District and my mom did her household shopping between there and the Mission District. As a child, growing up exposed to the amazing mural art in the city definitely played a role in my interest in art.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her San Francisco childhood even inspired Girlonbus\u2019 moniker. \u201cI\u2019ve been a lifelong bus rider to this day,\u201d she said. \u201cMy fondest memories were on Muni growing up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Girlonbus\u2019 cartoonish-style painting is often described as reminiscent to another well-known Bay Area painter and graffiti artist, Barry McGee, using bright combinations of color to bring life to her off-beat characters. While Girlonbus has been creating cartoons since she was much younger, it was her time spent within the Oakland community\u2014going to weekly \u201cBad Luck of the Draw\u201d draw nights curated by Chris Micro and Veronica Leon\u2014that encouraged her to start showing her work in local group shows. The element of community remains very important to Girlonbus, especially as the number of local folks being forced out of their long-time homes due to the rapid gentrification of the Bay Area increases.<\/p>\n

\u201cBusinesses and families are being pushed out of the community and it\u2019s becoming harder everyday for artists to really make it here. I struggle with it too,\u201d she said. \u201cThe hardest thing of all is that most of us have day jobs and we make art because we want to, we\u2019re not doing it to make money. We want to share with our community so money is not the goal but at the same time, artists do have to survive. Those who are moving into the city nowadays aren\u2019t doing much to help preserve what makes this city what it is, they\u2019re only destroying it. We need more support for local businesses and artists here so we can save what makes this city so special.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oliver \u201cEl Misft\u201d Chanax\u2019s poses for a portrait inside his room in San Francisco on Sept. 6, 2019. Photo: Natasha Kohli<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Painter Oliver \u201cEl Misft\u201d Chanax shares a similar sentiment. El Misft was also born and raised in San Francisco where he cultivated his love for painting and Chicano culture. De Marillac Academy in San Francisco\u2019s Civic Center had a hand in fostering El Misfit\u2019s artistic passion during his time as a student there. As a sign of gratitude for the school and encouragement for students who find themselves navigating their own passions, El Misft contributes a number of his own pieces to the school\u2019s annual benefit in order to raise funds for scholarships.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though I don\u2019t personally gain any money from it, I still love contributing to [events] like this,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve met lots of amazing people and donors through these auctions and when I look back in hindsight, I realize I learned so much when I was a student here, and I think it\u2019s amazing that they show these kids that if you have a goal, you have to go for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

El Misft, like many of the artists in the show, followed his own instincts when it came to his creativity. In school, El Misft explains that his art teachers would try to impose rules on his work but ultimately accepted he would stay true to himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had grown accustomed to working with my own twist and style in every piece that I did and in the classes that I\u2019ve taken, I always felt like I was limited with my own creativity because I was expected to follow certain ground rules in my art classes. I had to bend the rules in each class to get the kind of work that I wanted done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Floyd Tangeman and Piper Alan are artists who dropped into the Juan R. Fuentes Gallery one day, \u201cThey showed us work that we couldn\u2019t quite categorize and that they personally struggled to articulate but that made us think, \u2018What is going on in there?\u2019 Their art seemed to be a sort of mind map, a way to organize the many thoughts in their heads.\u201d Ramirez remembers, \u201cFor example, at first glance Floyd\u2019s work might seem a busy world of chaos but if you look closely, you start to see patterns, repetition, an attempt to understand the political weirdness we\u2019re currently surrounded by.\u201d<\/p>\n

El Misft attributes his tendency for creative risk-taking to art icons like Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh and Banksy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look at their work and think it\u2019s amazing that they reached a point of success that didn\u2019t require for them to know where they were categorized in the art world yet the audience thought they were interesting,\u201d he said. \u201cThinking about them helps remind me to always just take the risk and put out the work that I want to put out.\u201d<\/p>\n

These artists\u2014and others in the show\u2014exist as clear personifications of San Francisco\u2019s uncompromising free spirit. The genre-benders and rule-breakers are the folks who have made this city the inimitable haven that it is today and with each work of art that\u2019s made, comes a fresh glimmer of hope for the fate of the city.<\/p>\n
