Multimedia artist Wick Alexander with his playful take on the art of mosaics in this newest series: Bean Hecho! Made entirely from beans, beans and more beans, this series will include a range of baseball portraits, crop-circles and other odds and ends. Each work is an homage to the multicultural nature of California, being historically influenced by Mexican and Japanese culture. Alexander finds the intersection of the two in his portraits of Japanese baseball players made of various frijoles. Most people are aware of one of our star Dodger players, Shohei Ohtani, ironically coming from a Padres fan, but the rest of the portraits are of players from the Japanese leagues.
