Embers Dispensary is pleased to present Open Season, a new art exhibition by artist Del Chapo.

Drawing inspiration from early grindhouse and exploitation cinema. Del Chapo’s paintings carry the evidence of their own making: drips, scratches, overpainting, and revisions remain visible. These marks are not afterthoughts they function as a record of looking, thinking, and pushing forward. In Open Season, the artist leans into that honesty, allowing the surface to feel alive, unstable, and confrontational.
