MEXICO CITY LOVES MARKA27

After a successful opening night for Marka27's "Neo Indigenous" solo show featuring

artist "Problak" in the front room of our gallery, Marka27 set off to visit his native land Mexico with his lovely

wife Liza Quiñonez. 

We just got this report back from him and in his own words:

"The destination was Mexico DF (Distrito Federal). The trip was a total of five days and an 

incredible experience filled with politics, culture, ancient history, street art, graffiti, designer vinyl, delicious food and good friends with good vibes!

It goes without saying words cannot describe how amazing the experience was. It was a humbling experience seeing the pyramids at Teotihuacan, meeting amazing local artists and designers. 

Marka27 and Liza would like to thank the people of Mexico D.F specifically:

 Oscar from "Vinyles Chiles" Victor Hugo Celaya from "Arto" Art Beyond Museums, and Gonzalo from "Mammut" for hooking up a wall for me to paint on the last day. 

Thanks also to Libre, and Gato for the beers and good laughs! 

We hope you enjoy the photos and highly recommend Mexico D.F for your next adventure." 

- Marka27
