Chimento Contemporary is pleased to present our first solo exhibition by Los Angeles street artist SEK. Curated by Autumn Breon Williams.
SEK began painting and creating graffiti as a teenager in East Los Angeles. After he finished school he started working under the alias SEK. The moniker is an abbreviation for “second chance and seconds in time”. Using poetry, mathematical principles, and Latin, he communicates streams of consciousness revelations and reflections at a time when he was struggling. He has become known for his lyrical and abstract style. His signature way of crossing out , rearranging and manipulating words and phrases.
Sek prefers his anonymity, his work can be seen on the walls throughout the streets of Los Angeles. Sek has exhibited his work in Los Angeles, Japan and China.
