Ethos

Corey La Rue is a disabled artist, painter, and activist based in East Hollywood/Los Angeles, California. Rooted in his Xicano (Chicano) heritage, he creates textured paintings on wood panels, paper, linen, and hand woven textiles that blend Mexican-American identity with the city’s urban and natural landscapes. Using oil, oil pastel, charcoal, indigo, cochineal, and local soil (often ground in a molcajete), his work explores psychological depths inspired by Carl Jung and meditative presence drawn from Za-zen Buddhism-balancing form and emptiness, nature’s flora/fauna with the inner psyche, and personal survival with cultural memory.
