We are pleased to introduce Pelucas, an urban artist, part-time gallerist, and great friend. You can see some of his excellent work on many of the walls in the city of Vigo.
He and his twin brother Tiñas (Liqen Jakala), had a childhood steeped in skateboard culture, but always from their unique perspective.
Pelucas is transgressive, a recycler, and a heavy drinker. Psychedelic is how I would best describe him personally, as much of his work leaves "the doors of perception" wide open and airing out.
After several trips around the world, he has decided to settle in Mexico.
Pelucas in Mexico sounds like a Paco Martínez Soria film title, but nothing could be further from the truth, as it is there where he is gaining the most recognition for his murals, the discipline in which he excels.
The culture of murals in Mexico dates back to pre-Hispanic civilizations, although it saw greater development and solidified as a discipline in the early 1920s, with the purpose of conveying social or political messages in addition to an ornamental character.
This tradition continues to this day, and our friend Pelucas is contributing significantly.
We also highlight his collaboration with us, illustrating a surfboard (shortboard), a great piece of work that we will show you later.
Here are some images of his latest mural works and some other pieces.
From here, we send him a big hug!!!
