About the Item

Medium: Screenprint Year: 2025 Image Size: 28 × 42 inches Edition of 30 Frank Romero's Flying Saucer over Roswell, New Mexico brings his exuberant visual language to the mythology of the American Southwest. Against a dark, star-filled sky, brightly colored cars travel through a desert landscape of cacti and rugged hills while two flying saucers hover overhead. Romero combines familiar Southwestern imagery, automobile culture, and the legendary Roswell UFO story in a lively composition built from broad, energetic marks and saturated color. Throughout his 40 year career as an artist, Frank Romero has been a dedicated member of the Los Angeles arts community. As a member of the 1970s Chicano art collective, Los Four, Romero and fellow artists Carlos Almaraz, Beto de la Rocha and Gilbert Lujan, helped to define and promote the new awareness of La Raza through murals, publications and exhibitions. Los Four's historic 1974 exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art was the country's first show of Chicano art at a major art institution. Since then, Romero has successfully balanced a career in both the public and private arenas. He has completed over 15 murals throughout Los Angeles, and was a key contributor to the 1984 Olympic Arts Festival with “Going to the Olympics,” a large scale mural which adorned one of Los Angeles’ busiest freeways (Highway 101). In 2012 he created a print of the same image, after the mural was painted over. Romero has exhibited extensively in the United States, Europe and Japan. His work is featured in many permanent collections, including the National Museum of Art in Washington D.C., the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Carnegie Museum in Oxnard, CA.
