Fuse Gallery is pleased to announce our second exhibition on Line Gallery, “Bonita,” artwork by
Lorenzo Masnah. In this body of work, Masnah criticizes the objectification of women by the media.
Influenced by street art, he collages magazine images of 60’s pin ups and “bombs” and “tags” them. Defacing
these nostalgic beauties with contemporary graphic imagery allows his work to transcend a specific era. He
utilizes outlining, shading and other graffiti techniques to emphasize peculiarities and expressions of the
women in these vintage prints.

Lorenzo Masnah hails from Mexico and is currently in New York. Cross-culturalism is a significant
part of his work. He explains, “I believe that trash is the carcass of the city. By taking these magazines out of
the Mexican streets and using found wood from the streets of New York, I recycle these items and give them
new life by turning them into art beyond a specific city.”

“Bonita,” artwork by Lorenzo Masnah launches online Thursday, July 16, 2009, at www.fusegallerynyc.com.
