LAUNCH LA is proud to present Antonio Pelayo’s first solo exhibition of his professional fine art career. A gifted draftsman of the highest regard, Antonio has been honing his craft his entire life. He recorded his earliest memories and observations, always keeping himself occupied with pencil and sketchbook in hand.

This exhibition includes work from three different series. Icons pays homage to heroes and villains that have shaped Antonio’s consciousness from an early age. The La Lucha series takes us deeper into thoughts and dreams of a young man searching for his identity. Finally in Mi Familia, his most recent drawings display a fondness for his past while coming to terms with the people and cultures that shaped him.

Antonio began working for Disney Studios immediately following his high school graduation as an inker and painter. His responsibilities currently include his position as the head of the Special Effects Department. Antonio was born in Glendale, CA and raised in El Palmar, Jalisco. He now resides in Glendale.

The LAUNCH Gallery is located at 5900 Wilshire Boulevard (Variety Building) in the east annex, across the street from LACMA in Los Angeles, 90036.
