Cosmograffiti. The artist fuses traditional Mexican artisanal techniques with contemporary graffiti imagery
Cosmograffiti. The artist fuses traditional Mexican artisanal techniques with contemporary graffiti imagery, creating bold urban landscapes that entice the eye. Laura Ortiz Vega's process begins with the photographic documentation of graffiti she encounters in the streets of her native Mexico City. Once the original source material has been gathered and gleaned, she starts her process of editing and abstracting, whereby the aggressive environmental content of the original source material is re-contextualized through her own aesthetic filter, developing an intimate visual interpretation rendered in wool.
