Edition of 50 - Original Lithograph - Hand Signed by the Artist & Numbered - Published by Poligrafa, Barcelona Spain - In mint condition

Untitled Green by Dr. Lakra, a lithograph created in 2008, presents a rich tapestry of tattoo-inspired imagery against a green-toned background. This limited edition piece, published by Poligrafa in Barcelona, reveals a central female face surrounded by a chaotic mix of symbols and figures in sepia, red, and blue hues. The artwork includes skulls, snakes, roses, a devilish figure, and an array of grotesque faces and mystical motifs, each rendered with intricate detail. The text Hell Bound appears as a tattoo on one figure, enhancing the rebellious and darkly humorous tone. Dr. Lakra’s work combines traditional tattoo aesthetics with elements of horror and fantasy, inviting viewers into a surreal narrative that explores themes of mortality, myth, and the uncanny. The layered composition captures a complex interplay of beauty and menace, characteristic of Dr. Lakra’s unique style.

Dr. Lakra (Mexico, 1972), born Jerónimo López Ramírez, is a contemporary artist renowned for his tattoo-inspired art. He transforms vintage illustrations, anatomical prints, and found objects by overlaying them with bold, graphic designs. His works explore themes of identity, culture, and the body, blending traditional tattoo aesthetics with fine art.

Dr. Lakra’s work explores themes of identity, mortality, and cultural hybridity, challenging conventional ideas of beauty and the boundaries between high and low art. His work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Tate Modern in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, making him a prominent figure in the global contemporary art scene
