Locos X brings together the California Locos Collective—founded by Dave Tourjé—and celebrated artists Chaz Bojórquez, John Van Hamersveld, Norton Wisdom, and Gary Wong, whose work bridges fine art and popular culture. Embodying the innovative, multicultural spirit of Los Angeles, the exhibition explores the influence of Southern California’s surf, skate, punk, graffiti, hot rod, lowrider, and lowbrow cultures. Through painting, drawing, and mixed media, the artists recontextualize the Southern California experience, challenging traditional art historical narratives while celebrating the diverse, multigenerational communities that continue to define the region’s creative identity.
Presented by the Fullerton Museum Center, Locos X opens Saturday, May 22, 2027, and is both an exhibition and a cultural event. Opening night will feature a special performance by the legendary Los Angeles punk band X, featuring all original members—Exene Cervenka, John Doe, Billy Zoom, and D.J. Bonebrake. More than four decades after its inception, X remains one of the most influential bands to emerge from the late-1970s punk movement, with music that continues to be as groundbreaking today as it was at its debut.
Together, the exhibition and live performance offer a rare opportunity to experience the visual art and music that have helped shape the cultural fabric of Southern California.
