Mexico's Street Art/Urban Art, by Eryos on Feb 20, 2017 18:41:24 GMT 1, Hi, First of all. I did not found a thread (recent) about Mexican artists. I did found there are forums for most of the continents and because Canada, USA and Mรฉxico are all part of North America I decided to start this thread. If this is the wrong place, please let me know and I will move or create it again in the correct place.
I am no expert, but I know a few artists here. I will try to post information about them, events (there are several print sales, expositions and events organized through all the year), photos of their work, not all photos will be mine, and if there are interventions in Mexico from other international known artists I will also post them.

Mexico's Street Art/Urban Art, by Eryos on Feb 20, 2017 23:15:12 GMT 1, I will start with some random piece that catched my eye. Like this, I will uploade others, but I will focus more on artists with more impact.

Mexico's Street Art/Urban Art, by Eryos on Feb 20, 2017 23:40:28 GMT 1, There is quite a list of artists who had move from tags and lettering to bigger works. I will post some examples here.
If there is one mexican urban artist you could have heard of, it is Saner, he is one of the most known artists we currently have. He had been around since 2006 (more less), and until today he had been able to have solo exhibition in the US, Mexico, France, and you can find his murals in Germany, US, Mexico, France, Marruecos and some other countries. This Mural is called "Union del pueblo" ...something like Union of the people
From this other artists I will add some description later on:
Smithe The mural is "Ella" it could be translated as Her Everytime I see any of his works it is like watching some japanese cyberpunk anime. Its work is always full of smooth colors that together create a definite shape. A common element that is persistent with his work (not present on this particular mural) is the disassembling of the character. Also all his murals are faces...or things that seem like faces
Curiot The mural is Quetzen-tul, there is no translation because it is a name All his works are related to a world of mystical creatures he call curiotlis. His works had allowed him to have several solo exhibitions around the world.
Seher The Flight of the Stingray. There is one word that can describe his work, dynamism. His work is always full of color and movement.
L3Sup3rD3mon "Brujeria" Witchcraft You can recognize his geometric style everywhere and if you thought that Curiot had alucinations with weird creatures, this guy is far over that. His works are always full of meaings and intricate designs.
News As far as I know this one has no name She has been paining for more than ten years and had participated in exhibitions like Meeting Styles, Aglomerado, Constructoys, DIY Wars, Homogrosso, and many others.

Mexico's Street Art/Urban Art, by Eryos on Feb 21, 2017 16:44:07 GMT 1, Something that sometimes is interesting to look at is the evolution of the street artists, but usually it has a level of difficulty to keep track of it due to the ephemeral nature of their works. Thanks to the internet this is changing but still you need to do a lot of digging.
I was lucky to find some of the early works of L3sup3rd3mon, lucky enough to even find a pic of his blackbook.
Goliath in the blackbook
Goliath Mural
You can see that his early works were a little bit more plain, but you can still appreciate his signature geometric style that remaing is his more recent art works.
upload image
Here you can see some of his art work for that inside walls
Also common in his work are themes like cycles, loops, life and death. Looking at his art work is like having a glimpse to a weird dream of some mad philosopher. Completely different to what happens to the curiotli world from Curiot who also toys with strange creatures and meanings.
Usually you don't need to see his signature to recognize his hand.

Mexico's Street Art/Urban Art, by Eryos on Feb 22, 2017 19:52:15 GMT 1, Complementing that article about Smithe, I want to show you a little bit of his work evolution. As everyone else, Smithe went through experimentation until he was able to master his technique and find what would make it unique.
That allowed him from random, still interesting drawings, like this one
To the first seeds of what would define his artwork:
From there it was just a matter of practice, each time adding more elements of that psychedelic ciberpunk art:
He also participated and mixed his work with several other artists, national and international. Here we have an example with Okuda:
Through all his career Smithe had created his own brand and store, Tony Delfino, where he now sells clothes with the art of several other artists, he learned to tattoo, and hand been able to take his artwork over seas like this mural in Marrakech:
upload pic Smithe's art evolution had gone through big lengths. In my opinion he is a great artist who had been able to master his work. I will finish with some pics of his latests silkscreen, one is a zoom that shows the level of detail printed.

Well, in fact he lives in London and has never made an exposition in Mexico, the nearest he had been was in Los Angeles USA in 2015.
I will keep an eye for his work in the galleries, but not sure i will ever find something from him here.

Mexico's Street Art/Urban Art, by Eryos on Mar 8, 2017 17:38:46 GMT 1, I found this ranking of Latin American Urban artists by All City Canvas, I think it is word watching. The only one that has some mention here are Os Gemeos, probably thanks to their collaboration with Banksy...I don't know.

Mexico's Street Art/Urban Art, by Eryos on Mar 10, 2017 15:45:44 GMT 1, So yesterday I had the opportunity to attend to an exhibition curated by Chuleria about a collective called Carga Mรกxima. These guys are from Peru, but because I'm in general writing of the scene in Mรฉxico I decided to post a little bit of them here.
You can find more about them here: Facebook page
They specialize in calligraphy which even if it is not my style it catches my attention because I have heard of Eine, but I had never heard of Carga Mรกxima, the only difference was the marketing done by each one.
Well I will leave some pictures and I will try to upload a video. Everything they do is handmade no silkscreen print or anything, from my point of view this has a merit of their own.

Mexico's Street Art/Urban Art, by Eryos on Mar 10, 2017 23:23:53 GMT 1, Well this will be my second try to do this Saner evolution, last time an error in the forum trashed all my post, but this time I have a copy in word, so lets see.
Saner started working on street art as, I guess, everyone else; as a side personal project while keeping an office job. This little by little grew until it became his life.
2006 During this time, it was mostly commercial posters and art toys, together with some experimentation in the walls.
2007 One of the first murals, in collaboration with Seher. His style as you can see was still evolving and not yet defined, this is the few examples where the masks are not primordial.
2008 His work on walls increased, perfecting his style with each work
2009 The POW exhibition, which I think was incredible. He also kept working outside on random surfaces.
2010 According to him, this was the moment when he feels that everything took meaning with his first solo exhibition โ108 Minutos de Vidaโ. From that exhibition only this video remain. Watch it and you will understand why.
2011 - 2015 I can say the rest is history, Saner keep working, creating incredible pieces, participating in more exhibitions.
2016 Exhibition in Lyon
He is mostly working for inside walls now, but still from time to time he does an outside wall.
2017 His latest print which sadly I was not able to acquire, it sold in 10 minutes ๏ but well I am watching for another one.
Let me know your thoughts. What do you think so far

Mexico's Street Art/Urban Art, by Eryos on Mar 16, 2017 0:17:10 GMT 1, Well today I will post about something important that I don't see much discussion. Where to frame your art pieces.
Well in Mexico we have this dude Antonio Chirino. I recommend you to look for him in Instagram and facebook so you can really appreciate all he does.
He specializes in custom framing, and helps you decide how to better frame your piece so it syncs with the painting. Ill leave some examples. And in the very end, I will tell you I would trust this guy with any art piece I would like to frame.
Now you may have liked or disliked some or all the frames, but I would trust anything to Antonio because he has an impressive portfolio of works, he had framed a Siqueiros, a Lichtenstein, a Botero, a Picaso, a Mirรณ, and those are only a few of the ones I know.

That last one is Yostone CECE or Yostone Suave, his kind of new on this, but his designs and artistic work is really interesting. I had tried to convince him to sell me something without success I will try again this year.

Otherwise, you can contact Toba gallery and ask them. I'm sure they'll sort you out.

I'll get in touch Toba gallery though, that might be a good starting point! Thanks!
