This month (March 2012,
still running behind schedule) limited edition silkscreen was designed by NYC
based urban artist Rimx. He is part of the collective group Corografico
alongside artists Clandestino, Spear, Acty2, Son and Esco. The Corografico was named winners of the
collective category in the 1st Urban and Street Art Biennale
Graphopoli with their mural work on the Coliseito Pedrin Zorrila in Hato Rey.
Rimx who graduated
from Central High and studied at La Escuela de Artes Plasticas in San Juan, has
created his own world of characters which he routinely places in walls as part
of murals around the city. Rimx has incorporated some new elements to his
already elaborate works using the architectural influences he sees in different
cities where he works.
This particular
character has been named “Caradura”, meaning hard-face. In this design we can appreciate the
architectural form of the “adoquines” which is the name of the stones that make
the streets of old San Juan. This element helps make this specific character
more regional or local as he has the land mark streets of the capital of Puerto
Rico in his face.
Rimx is an ever
evolving artist whom is continuously experimenting and adding new styles into
his already recognizable artwork always looking for that new way to impress his
fans and bring his work to new heights and letting us into his world of
characters whom you can see come alive in his works.
This is a limited
edition silkscreen numbered to 50 and hand signed by the artist. Cariduro is
only $50 per silkscreen until supplies last. Get yours today.
