Man One’s Curator Statement:

My intention in curating this exhibition of “La Bulla” is to address the crossover effect that Lucha has had on visual artists of all races and disciplines. Lucha Libre is essentially an operatic display of sport and culture and has attracted artists to it from all walks of life. It is important to show the cross section of influenced artists. Invited are some of LA’s best tattoo artists like Tattoo Ruben, Chuey Quintanar, and Freddy Negrete among others. Key Latino and Chicano artists I invited include the highly collected Yolanda Gonzalez, Pola Lopez, and Luis Ituarte. I also wanted to open up the exhibition by showing the influence of Mexican wrestling on contemporary toy designers such as Jesse Hernandez and Marka27 as well as artist-designers like Bob Motown, Lichiban, Ritzy P, and Louie Galvez. Some of the notable non-Latino and highly respected artists influenced by Lucha Libre include Gregg Stone, Michael Massenburg, and Italian born Gusmano Cesaretti. Not to be left out is the work of graffiti artists Vyal One, CaleK2S, Fishe Kog and Tetris Wai (among others). I also thought it was essential to show the work of Hollywood animators/writers like Andy Bialk, Jorge R Gutierrez, and Lalo Alcaraz.
