There will be a reception for the artist Saturday, October 12 from 7-10pm. Gerardo Monterrubio is an LA-based contemporary ceramic artist. Monterrubio uses the forms as vehicles to compose linear and fragmented narratives. He mines imagery from aspects of contemporary society and embeds them with raw, fractured structure in clay. Gerardo Monterrubio received his BFA from California State University, Long Beach and his MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles. His work is in the collections of such museums as Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Fuller Craft Museum, American Museum of Ceramic Art, and the Craft in America Center. In 2017, Monterrubio’s work was the subject of a solo exhibition at the Craft in America Center (Los Angeles, CA). His work has been included in recent group exhibitions at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, Alabama, Boehm Gallery, Palomar College, San Marcos, CA, and Gyeonggi International Ceramic Biennale, South Korea. www.gerardomonterrubio.com instagram gerardomonterrubio Gerardo Monterrubio: Form and Image opens Saturday October 12th, 7-10pm at Tiger Strikes Asteroid Los Angeles and will be on view through November 3rd..

Tiger Strikes Asteroid is a network of artist-run spaces with locations in Philadelphia, New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Each space is independently operated and focuses on presenting a varied program of emerging and mid-career artists. Our goal is to collectively bring people together, expand connections and build community through artist-initiated exhibitions, projects, and curatorial opportunities. We seek to further empower the artist’s role beyond that of studio practitioner to include the roles of curator, critic, and community developer; and to act as an alternate model to the conventions of the current commercial art market. Tiger Strikes Asteroid is a 501c3 Non-Profit Organization.
