A Dedication Through Letters and Dramas
About the exhibition
Stay Gallery is pleased to present Strawberry Fields: A Dedication through Letters and Dramas, a debut solo exhibition featuring the works of Eduardo Viramontes – painter, illustrator and former lead graphic designer for the renowned streetwear brand The Hundreds.
Strawberry Fields explores the concept of nostalgia through the use of color, texture and accustomed imagery. This exhibition also examines the specific dreamlike memories associated with growing up as an American of Mexican descent.

“Here you are standing amongst a literal field of dreams; on these walls lie my hopes and aspirations, ripe for you to pick. These are the fruits of my labor.”

About the artist
Eduardo Viramontes
Eduardo Viramontes is a designer, illustrator and lettering artist based in Southern California. Driven by the hum of Los Angeles’ artistic atmosphere, he creates and explores visual communication through experimental letterforms, brand development and editorial design. As an artist, he has dabbled in drawing, painting, photography and graphic design—but his true skills lie in cooking up a hearty breakfast plate and picking out the best places in the city for ramen.
