Artbug Gallery

Artbug is pleased to present works by Roberto Tostado, Miguel Casco, Vanessa Zarate, Carlos Rittner, and Chicome Itzcuintli at Future Fair, Booth U12. Bringing together painting, neon, symbolic systems, and contemporary figuration, the presentation opens a dialogue between the body, memory, technology, and historical imaginaries. Across different visual languages, the booth considers how images are constructed today: as sites of appearance, transformation, mythology, and cultural friction. From pictorial matter and intervened figures to light, ornament, and Mesoamerican iconography, the selection brings together practices that approach the image as a field where bodies, symbols, and fictions continue to be negotiated.

Studio Visit - @Roy.Dowell “Dowell’s commitment to gathering and combining images is at the heart of his practice. The disparate qualities of collage and assemblage are rendered in acrylic paint on linen over panel. From early in his career, the artist has engaged with a layering of diverse and scattered references from all over the world, both iconic and personal, working and reworking his materials until they are remade into something with visual impact. His use of color, pattern, folk motifs, and design elements, all with the presence of a handmade and open touch, stems from an appreciation and interest in world cultures and self-taught arts.”

Artbug (Los Angeles, CA & Mexico City, Mexico) presents Miguel Casco, a Mexican visual artist, cultural manager and museographer. The technological-digital influence and media connectivity, as entities that promote shared intimacy, are thematic axes of his current production. @artbugallery @___miguelcasco #FutureFair2026

Saturdays 2-5 and by appointment THE DEVOURING TERRITORY Opening Reception March 14th, 6-10pm Closing Event April 4th, 2-5pm The Devouring Territory brings together nine artists bound by an attachment to painting in plein air. While the selected works are primarily studio pieces, they are shaped by sustained encounters with the landscape. Rather than direct transcriptions, these images emerge secondhand – digested, remembered, and renegotiated. Nature often appears not as a fixed subject but as something absorbed and reconstituted through time, sensation, and the interior space of the studio. Participating artists: Sarah Granett @sarahgranett Amanda Mears @amandamears.studio Carl Baratta @carlbaratta Alicia Cheatham @alicheat Anthony Prud’Homme @awprudhomme Lisa Bahouth @mousemaux Elizabeth Wild @elizwild Liz Watson Alice Marie Perreault @aligator_purrrs Ruth Gallery, aka RUTH, is a nomadic curatorial endeavor connecting alternative art spaces with emerging and mid career Los Angeles area artists. Artbug @artbugallery is a Los Angeles-based art gallery with a mission to enhance the visibility of emerging artists, with a focus on Latin America, through a multi-platform project located in the heart of the Arts District.

Curator Steve Galindo, aka @thestyleguyde presents his latest curatorial project titled Re-calentado at the ArtBug Gallery @artbugallery in Downtown Los Angeles. Re-calentado is a Spanish word that means to reheat, where the joy of family celebrations extends one more day. ArtBug Director Carlos Rittner and Curator Steve Galindo reignite their CDMX Art Week roster of artists in a re-heat for Los Angeles’ Frieze art weekend. In the tradition of cultural exchange between sister cities, new and previously presented works echo the Mexican tradition of reuniting, reheating, and reigniting after a celebratory party to finish leftover bacalao or romeritos. In this instance, the pillars of family, tradition, and sustainability meet in strengthening free cross-cultural border relationships. This celebratory exhibition brings together artist and patron within the unifying force of community and cross-cultural exchange in Los Angeles. ArtBug is a collective of artists that bridges Los Angeles, Mexico, Berlin, and beyond, fostering collaboration, experimentation, and mutual support for contemporary art and culture. Through exhibitions, exchanges, and artist-led initiatives, ArtBug is dedicated to building inclusive platforms that amplify creative voices, encourage dialogue across borders, and cultivate long-term cultural relationships within its collaborative cities.
