Writer Janet Yates recently interviewed two budding visionaries in the Los Angeles art scene: makeup artist Gloria Rios and photographer Andrew Quesada.
Authentically representing a city is tough work, but Andrew Quesada’s photography delicately captures L.A.’s hazy energy in a raw, edgy visual ruckus. Gloria Rios, or “Glo,” loves dramatic neon hues, which Quesada’s eye complements with an ineffable sparkle. Quesada muses that “while neither of us are in front of the camera, you still feel us there.”
