A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

• French artist Hervé di Rosa has travelled the world in 12 stages. México was number ten and it meant an explosion of popular elements, colour and legendary figures
• A frenetic visual discourse populated by wrestlers, aliens, terror-inspiring minibuses, mariachis, piñatas, and demons

Reading this book resembles walking through an infinite street-art gallery in Mexico City: Di Rosa masterfully revives the elements of folklore but transforms them from stereotype to archetype. His style takes on popular Mexican art and the observer comes across with a comic-street stand-market version of mariachi players, lucha-libre fighters, women, nature, history and all that salsa. There is so much movement that in the end flipping the pages leaves the impression of having read a traveler's notebook, with no guide nor map and almost any text but with the souvenirs of a journey took on from one image to another. This is an artist's book.

Biographie de l'auteur

Hervé Di Rosa (France, 1959) has been travelling the world since 1980 to enrich the unique vision that constitutes his work. He has taken part in countless group and solo shows in Europe, the United States, and Latin America. Since the beginning, he has made use of an array of nontraditional, simple, illustrative, and colourful images, closely linked to the codes of caricature. His work provides the culture and expressive patterns of each country where he arrives, among them Ghana, Benin, Vietnam, Ethiopia, South Africa, and Cuba; all of them have influenced his later works, making him one of the most widely renowned artists in the world.
