Imagine being trapped in hell.
Not your typical fire-and-brimstone-and-nonconsensual-anal-sex-with-demons kind of hell – I want you to imagine a really bad place. Like a life lived in a vacuum of meaning, no transcendence, just day upon day spent wandering the bland postindustrial warrens of greater Los Angeles.

It’s hell not having a hero.

This first solo show by underground LA artist Branded features a collection of color and black and white photographs serigraphically imaged onto sheet metal, as well as collage installations of street photography and graffiti art. The images explore the urban alienation, search for meaning, vandal culture, and fuck-it-all partying that shape Branded’s work.
