LUCIANO SANCHEZ

---

My name is Luciano Sanchez, I was born in the late 70s in Granada, Spain, and I have a

degree from the University of Fine Arts in Granada, my work is influenced by an artistic

movement that emerged in the late 1970s in California known as Lowbrow Art o

Popsurrealism, this allows me to have a field of creation where the main protagonists are

elements of popular culture, underground comics, kustom kulture or pop culture among

others always mixed with a dose of pessimism and post-apocalyptic connotations, all of

them make up my In addition, the work is loaded with references to the 70s, 80s or 90s as a

yearning for a better past.The concept of the urban has been a fundamental element in the

last years of my production, the graffiti, the noise of the streets and dirt have crept into my

imagery.

In recent years my work has turned towards a movement called Urban Surrealism where my

works were exhibited at the show about Aesop's fables at Brassworks Gallery Portland, USA

2021, by the hand of great international artists. Now my work takes place in urban spaces

where the stories are part of the cities, overcrowded, dirty, and full of walls with graffiti.
