Taxali presented "America Lucky Service" at La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles, a solo exhibition at the seminal gallery founded by Billy Shire that is widely credited with launching the lowbrow and pop surrealism movements. The show offered a sustained look at Taxali's retro-Americana graphic language, placing his work at the heart of the cultural conversation around illustration-based contemporary art that the gallery had championed since the mid-1980s.
