MUERTE

Muerte is a celebration of the master of black ink, Mike Giant. He has achieved fame as a graffiti artist, illustrator and tattooist. Whether his medium is concrete, paper or skin, his signature style is made up of equal parts Mexican folk art and Japanese illustration, is unmistakable. Latin and Hispanic culture play a major role in the execution of his silhouettes, which resemble buxom pin-up femme fatales and assorted other voluptuous characters, often with skulls and animal tentacles. With the turquoise color added, Mike Giant famous for his tattoos accentuates the dynamism and the sharpness of his work drawn with dark ink. Known for his unique and original style, the artist doesn't hesitate to mix different aesthetic styles like the American folk art and Japanese illustrations. Technique and precise, Mike Giant manages to mix different influences, different fields ( tattoos, canvas, graffiti) imposing his own tattoo art. Except the complexity and the fineness of his world, we can see in his drawings a certain sense of humor and a real reflection around the complexity of our world where the feeling of love and hate are confronted like in his drawings.
