Genograffic 3 is an art exhibition featuring the artwork of Hatziel, Jeru, and Ray Albarez. Inspired by the graffiti and urban landscapes, these three artists have fused their past experiences and present surroundings to bring to you their own interpretation of Art's future. The spontaneity and sometimes-premeditated process of their artwork have led them through different routes to further evolve their art and find their meaning.

Jeru Gabriel often describes his own work as a blend of order with chaos. Using a mixture of realism and surrealism, pop and graffiti, typography and a playfully bright color palette, his work is more about the spontaneous creation he experiences in the moment and the visual response by the viewer once the art is complete. Jeru draws inspiration from his own hobbies and interests that include a wide range of music, film, and comic books. His work gravitates more towards delivering a fun visual experience rather than attempting to convey a story.

Ray Albarez is inspired by his strive for excellence in craftsmanship and delivering a single important, but often forgotten message. Where most painters are searching for perfection or political insight, Ray Albarez enjoys the process of painting and connecting with his subject matter. His sole intention for this collection is to enjoy each step and find the same feeling as a graffiti vandal and child of simply having fun.

Hatziel’s work explores the relationship between postmodern discourse and emotional memories. With influences as diverse as Machiavelli and Francis Bacon, new variations are crafted from both explicit and implicit meanings. Ever since he was a child the traditional understanding of the human condition has fascinated him. What starts out as contemplation soon becomes corroded into hegemony of futility, leaving only a sense of unreality and the unlikelihood of a new synthesis. As spatial derivatives become distorted through boundaried and critical practice, the viewer is left with a clue to the edges of our existence.

Ultimately, Genograffic is a collection of artwork that brings each artists own style and purpose for you to view, construe, debate, and repute.
