Mexican artist Curiot adds sparkling colours to No Limit Street Art Borås

Mexican artist Curiot creates vibrant mythical beasts blending human and animal forms, which allude to Mexican handcrafts and folk art. The works are highly detailed, rich in colour, symbolic and mystic. Inspired from Pre-Hispanic cultures, nature and urban contemporaneity, Curiot explores the relationship between man and nature.

Curiot currently working and living in one of the largest cities of the world, Mexico City. His work has been seen on walls and exhibitions all around the world.

- Curiot has been on my personal wish list since I first met him and saw him paint in Germany a few years ago. So what can I say? I´m really happy to be able to present this artist to our visitors for 2015. The colours and ancient patterns in Curiots murals are really beautiful. It´s really no wonder a lot of admirers over the world call him "El Curiot" – he´s an insanely talented master of spray cans, says curator Shai Dahan.

- When I first saw Curiots work I instantly got the feeling that we must have him in our line up. His way of interpreting the relationship between man and nature in a real explosion of colours is really amazing. I´m so excited to see what he will create for us in Borås, says project manager Stina Hallhagen.

No Limit is an outdoor art event inviting artists from around the world to participate in turning public spaces into an outdoor exhibition. The event is about all kinds of street art, from large scale murals to street art sculptures and installations. No Limit first saw the world in September 2014. 2015 we´re doing it again.

Mexikanske konstnären Curiot adderar sprakande färger till No Limit Street Art

Mexikanske kontnären Curiot skapar livfulla och färgsprakande mytiska odjur, där han kombinerar kroppsformer från djur och människor, som anspelar på Mexikanskt hantverk och folkkonst. Verken är mycket detaljrika, färgstarka, symboliska och mystiska. Inspirerad av tidiga latinamerikanska kulturer, naturen och urban samtid utforskar Curiot relationen mellan människa och natur.

Curiot bor och arbetar för närvarande i en av världens största städer, Mexico City. Hans verk har synts på såväl väggar som konstmuseer och utställningshallar världen över.

- Curiot har funnits på min personliga önskelista ända sedan jag träffade honom första gången och såg honom måla i Tyskland för några år sedan. Vad kan jag säga? Jag är verkligen glad att kunna presentera honom för våra besökare 2015. Färgerna och de antika mönstren i hans muralmålningar är verkligen fantastiska. Det är inte konstigt att många beundrare, världen över kallar honom ”El Curiot”, han är verkligen en otroligt duktig mästare med sprayburkar, säger curator Shai Dahan.

- När jag först såg Curiots verk kände jag instinktivt att jag vill ha med honom bland årets konstnärer. Hans sätt att tolka förhållandet mellan människa och natur genom en explosion av färger är helt fantastiskt. Jag längtar efter att se vad han kommer att skapa för oss I Borås, sager projektledare Stina Hallhagen.

No Limit är en street art festival som bjuder in konstnärer från hela världen att delta i förvandlingen av det offentliga rummet och skapa ett gigantiskt utomhusgalleri.

Joe uses layers of hand cut paper and spray paint to create texture and form - a modern adaptation of an old-fashioned printing process. His art is nothing more than the exploration and documentation of personal experiences. These are his stories and how he choose to tell them.
