Sensacional! Mexican Street Graphics
Sensacional! Mexican Street Graphics celebrates the vernacular design of Mexico, where a rough, idiosyncratic beauty arises from a mom-and-pop street economy. Though these artisans—comic book illustrators, sign painters, lithographers—may work off the high-art grid, their work has enormous significance: in public environments increasingly monopolized by corporate imagery, they assert a brilliant graphic design presence that’s hand-made, individualistic, and defiantly human. Organized by Trilce Ediciones, an independent publishing house based in Mexico City.
