LA is HOT. But does it have to be this hot? Did you know shade from a single tree can drop temps by 20° or more? Yet working-class neighborhoods like South LA, East LA, and the Valley get the least tree coverage and bear the brunt of extreme heat. Let's finally cool things down for everyone.

“Pillow Talk” by Patssi Valdez (American) - Black-and-white photograph, ink, and pastel on mural paper / 1979–1980 - LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes (Los Angeles, California) #WomenInArt #WomensArt #WomanArtist #art #artText #artwork #PatssiValdez #blueskyArt #PhotoArt #LAPlazadeCulturayArtes #1980s

A reclining Latina woman, styled with New Wave flair, lounges across a low divan. The underlying photo is black-and-white, while hand-applied ink and pastel electrify select details: her strapless, skintight bodysuit pops a saturated pink; long gloves echo the glamour; heart-shaped sunglasses frame her face. Plush cushions beneath her register as warm, sunlit yellow; the surrounding room remains largely in grayscale, sharpening the contrast between lived body and staged backdrop. Her hair is coiffed, lips defined, and though her eyes are veiled, her head is tipped toward us to meet our gaze with cool, self-possessed confidence. The composition reads like a magazine spread, but the hand-coloring and assertive pose insist on authorship and agency rather than objectification.

Artist Patssi Valdez’s “painted photograph” stages her friend Betty Salas as the icon she refused to search for in someone else’s pages. The work repurposes the visual language of glossy fashion editorials with tight framing, chic pose, and candy-bright accents to critique the period’s near-absence of Latinas in advertising and Hollywood while reveling in the power of self-fashioning. In the late-1970s Los Angeles scene that also nourished Asco’s guerrilla performances and “no-movies,” Valdez fused glamour, camp, and punk attitude into an image that is equal parts fantasy and manifesto.

The palpable handwork of the pink bodysuit, yellow cushions, and inked edges declares that representation here is constructed, conscious, and in the artist’s control. As Valdez has said of her practice, “A central focus of my work was to document my friends and family who were absent from the mainstream images of Los Angeles.” Her friend’s relaxed sprawl becomes a refusal of erasure: the model is not merely seen, she stares back. “Pillow Talk” is both celebration and critique as an intimate portrait that broadcasts a larger media analysis by placing Chicana desire, glamour, and authorship center stage.
