We have been invited to participate in an international group show VIVA LUCHA! at Gallery Bink in May 2003. (Our friend Jorge/SuperMacho is the curator). The list of participating artists is AMAZING! … Jorge Alderete, Tim Biskup, Miles Thompson….
Señores y señoritas, welcome to… “VIVA LUCHA!” -A Mexploitationextravaganza celebrating the crazy and heroic luchadores, Mexican masked wrestlers, in all their glorious splendor! For thousands of years these masked phenomenons have inspired countless artistas all over the world.
For this one special occasion, watch as an eclectic and international mix of talent from the decadent worlds of fine art, illustration and animation go mano a mano! Weep as you read their insatiable love letters to lucha libre! Behold the mysterious power of the masks as it destroys more than one artist’s noble vision! Watch in awe as some retire from their craft after horribly losing their honor on the canvas!
Yes amigos, this will not be for the faint of heart. Prepare yourself, pray to your gods, kiss your loved ones good bye, do three shots of Tequila and enter the world of VIVA LUCHA!!! - SuperMacho
