Born and based in South Central, Los Angeles, Gabe Medina is a Mexican American multi-disciplinary artist and organizer. Much of his work challenges racist and classist narratives about lower income communities. Informed by his own family history and his relationship to his home in South Central, Medina has been reconstructing symbols of local plant life and wrought iron fence motifs, prominent symbols in his familiar neighborhood. He utilizes a variety of media including ceramics, photo transfers, and paintings to uplift and deepen his evolving connection to South Central.
He has exhibited at the South Gate Museum and Art Gallery (2023), Winston Hewitt Studion(2022) and Altadena Library (2022). Medina co-curated Seen at Office Hours, an artist-led space in Carson, CA (2023) and was a member of the DH Arts Collective, and Ceramics Guild. He was the Ceramics Studio Assistant at CSUDH and a Student Programmer at the Queer Culture & Resource Center.
