Converse x Dr. Lakra (Video)

“Oaxaca, Mexico-based artist Dr. Lakra transforms found printed materials and objects with mischievous, tattoo-inspired drawings. Referencing a range of imagery from traditional Maori tattoos, Mexican Day of the Dead icons to R. Crumb comics, Dr. Lakra’s work blurs cultural identities as it explores tensions between the group and the individual, the sacred and the profane. The artist’s first solo museum exhibition presents work in a variety of media and a newly-commissioned mural.”

The Dr. Lakra Exhibition at the ICA in Boston is on view April 14th – September 6th, 2010.
