Braunstein/Quay Gallery

William Noguera, a self-taught artist, describes his style as “hyper-realistic, monochromatic neo-cubism in ink stippling," done through the careful placement of thousands of individual black dots, executed in his studio which is his cell. William Noguera is incarcerated on California’s Death Row for the death of his former girlfriend’s mother. Each carefully placed drop of ink transports him to another time and place, a reminder of the boy he was in the free world and the man that he has become.
