Mexico
Drawing, Graphite on Other

About The Artwork
Tijuanerias simply refers to anything having to do with the city of Tijuana. This drawing is from a series of 102 ink and wash drawings along with an installation environment. It is my interpretation of Tijuana's Leyenda Negra or "Black Legend." Since the 1920s, Tijuana has been marked as a symbol of perversion and vice, a stigma that continues to define the violence and social upheaval of this border city.

Mexico
Hugo Crosthwaite was born in Tijuana, Mexico in 1971 and grew up in the tourist-heavy beach town of Rosarito. His work is completed using solely pencil and charcoal. 'I love the immediacy and tactility of drawing, the breaking of the white surface with images from my own personal narrative. I let the act of drawing dictate my compositions. My works are completed using graphite and charcoal. This medium allows me to seamlessly combine classical figurative representation with modern abstraction. This mixture creates feelings of chaos and spontaneity, reminiscent of Tijuana, Mexico, the city from where I came.'
