Troy Montes-Michie was born in El Paso. Border towns are a natural mash-up of cultures, traditions, languages, food, fashion, and nearly everything else. It's no surprise that Montes-Michie turned his focus to collage, creating instantly recognizable works using magazine clippings, pornography, images of the Black male body, and plenty of zoot suits. In "Rock of Eye," the artist's first solo museum exhibition, these collages can be seen alongside, drawings, sculptures, and installations. On view through September 4th at the California African American Museum in Los Angeles.
