PIXELPANCHO

Pixelpancho’s work draws from several diverse influences including Joaquin Sorolla, Salvador Dali, the political painter group El Equipo Cronica, Ron English, and Takashi Murakami. Traveling to Paris, Amsterdam, Warsaw, Vienna and other cities for graffiti jams and gallery exhibitions allowed his style to evolve from simple robot characters to the more complex compositions that exist in his work today.

The narrative in Pixelpancho’s work is driven by a forgotten world that sits under a blanket of dust. In this world broken and dented robots are found decaying into the ground, their iron and rusted copper bodies falling and laying as if discarded into oblivion. Although the scale of his work varies, the surreal realm is a constant thread piercing through contemporary and historical references. The strength of the physical and gestural references that humanize these robots results in the artist's unmistakable mark. Pixelpancho’s work, which can be found on the walls of abandoned buildings in cities throughout Europe, the U.S. and Mexico, is an interconnected structure of stories. The murals, paintings, and sculptures are only a small part of a greater story within the ever-growing realm.
