Lowlow Medina: creating lowrider art in Chimayó
Arthur Angelo “Lowlow” Medina is a Chimayó artist, vintage car collector and low rider. The term, “lowrider,” coined when zoot suits were the rage, is used both for a car riding close to the ground on small tires and the people who drive them. Lowriders are alive and well in northern New Mexico. Often, they’re decorated with custom paint jobs, boast hydraulic systems (that can lower and raise the car), have small steering wheels and lots of chrome. The artist not only restores old cars, he turns them into works of art.
