2022 Made in California Solo Show:

Carros Alterados y Rines Cromados

by Aaron Moctezuma

The Brea Gallery is honored to present Carros Alterados y Rines Cromados, a poignant series by Aaron Moctezuma of photographs and ephemera that provide a glimpse into the proud, vibrant lifestyle of Southern California “kustom” culture. Surrounded by lowriders from an early age in Santa Ana, Aaron naturally turned his lens toward documenting this slice of Latin American identity, soulfully capturing both the vehicles and their owners.
