Kruse Lucas Art Gallery is hosting a Graffiti Car Art Exhibit to celebrate the Graffiti parade and and all the classic car shows.

The exhibit will feature the photography work of Rick Raef. Raef began photographing local Graffiti events to capture the celebration of California’s car culture. 

Raef’s interest in photography truly started to take shape in 2009, when he decided to capture some of the images and scenery he saw routinely out on his ranch. In 2012 he met noted western photographer Dave Stoecklein and attended several of his photography classes. Since then Raef has photographed numerous working cattle and sheep ranches in the western United States and has been published in several western and Ag related publications. 

Raef’s work will be on exhibit June, July and August at 525 Tully Road, Modesto The gallery is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays except holidays.  For more information call (209) 529-9111.
