Biographies
Smithe
Young Mexican artist, Smithe is an illustrator and painter. He often uses defragmentation to represent characters or scenes whose references are to be sought between existentialism and science fiction. His works often contain an ambivalence between humor and despair.
Seher
Born in Mexico, Seher grew up admiring the graffiti on the walls of the capital, trying to decode them. It was from the age of 16 that he began to experiment with this technique, which subsequently encouraged his interest in urban art, particularly through printing and other dissemination media. After his first attempts in the streets of the Mexican capital, he decided to embark on studies by starting a Bachelor of Design and Visual Communication at the “National School of Plastic Arts” (UNAM), specializing in illustration. His work is now visible and recognizable in private and public spaces located in different parts of Mexico City.
