Artist Del Chapo is set to debut a new solo exhibition titled "Open Season" at Embers Dispensary in Washington, D.C. The showcase features paintings heavily influenced by early grindhouse and exploitation cinema, characterized by a raw aesthetic that includes visible drips, scratches, and overpainting. The opening reception is scheduled for the evening of March 8, 2026.
This event highlights the ongoing trend of alternative and multi-use spaces, such as dispensaries and record shops, serving as vital hubs for local contemporary art. By focusing on the physical process of making and "confrontational" surfaces, Del Chapo’s work contributes to the gritty, process-oriented dialogue within the D.C. underground art scene.
