There is a moment in Jasmine Monsegue’s Everything That Glitters at CONTROL Gallery in Los Angeles that helped kick off Frieze week that was a great reminder of where she came from and where this art comes from. The work, Third Coast, and thinking of Houston and where Monsegue was raised within a Afro-Caribbean, Latinx and African American culture deeply embedded in the Southern United States, gave context to some of the more unique aesthetics I had seen over the course of airbrush’s resurgence in the art world over the last half decade. This is Houston, the South, and LA all in one, a rowdy and underground look at car culture, lowbrow and DIY fashion.
