It has been one whole year since Catalyst last took a trip to the Downtown Los Angeles Art Walk. Now we are back. As a means to spur new ideas in both, our individual art practices and our collective event planning and organization, it was, furthermore, a delightful, cultural experience that our community within Irvine could surely benefit from.

An undergraduate exhibition showcasing the works of Maivy Nguyen, Yuo Tengara, Jayson Ward, Leo Wiggins, Joey Luu, Iris Hu, and Anonymous.

"We are Anonymous" by Kelly Mayfield

Whether utilizing their own image as overt visual reference or transcending the figure altogether, artists have created self-portraits for centuries. You See I seeks to explore the ways contemporary undergraduate artists are tackling this historical genre. Fiber, paint, photography, video and audio works are represented and provide evidence that contemporary artists are utilizing disparate mediums to communicate ideas about who they are.

"Dad (and Mom)" by Iris Hu, 3’ x 3’ digital print

"Self" by Yuo Tengara; oil and acrylic on wood

"Self Portrait With Yellow Veil" by Maivy Nguyen; fabric, tea, instant coffee, curry, chili powder, cumin, thread, wood

Leo Wiggins; ink on paper

"Man Embraces His Proletariat Sensibilities" by Jayson Ward; 3- 13” x 19” digital prints, 2009
