San's 'Pygmalion' - LONDON


This renowned Spanish street artist is having his premier UK solo exhibition, showcasing new work on canvas and paper as well as outdoor mural work. The show will also see the release of a limited edition hand pulled screen print by San.

In Greek Mythology, Pygmalion was a legendary Cypriot sculptor who carved a woman out of ivory, in which he fell madly in love. For this show, San's work comments on humans love for the things we create, particularly money and weapons, with often destructive consequences.

Born Daniel Munoz Rodriquez, San is an internationally recognized and commissioned illustrator, painter, and street artist. Born in a small Spanish village near the Portuguese border, San currently works and resides in Madrid. His artwork is influenced by magical realism, graffiti, and the culinary arts. In a recent interview in Juxtapoz Magazine, he remarked, “I think today my work is a mixture of classical drawing and contemporary art languages. Nowadays, nature is the basis of my work.” San has shown his fine art internationally, as well as his street art in cities across Europe.

Showing through August 23rd
