LOS ANGELES TIMES

CALIFORNIA---As far as art forms go, it doesn't get more lowbrow than lenticulars, the 2-D printed pictures that, with the aid of a rippled, plasticized coating, appear three dimensional, often with animated effects. Think of those thrift store
portraits of Jesus that appear to be winking. Artists
Jamex and Einar de la Torre have used this technology — generally reserved for popular religious art and advertising campaigns — to fantastic effect. In fact, a current show of their work at
Koplin Del Rio in Culver City offers a bounty of pieces that employ the device. [
