Juniors con Guarura (Juniors with Bodyguard) Painting

As a multi- (un) disciplinary artist, Sergio Arau's body of work is extensive. On the visual front alone, his work as film director for A Day Without a Mexican, served as a banner for the immigration movement we witnessed in 2006. An illustrator (Mexico public education text books 5 million circulation), a political cartoonist and formal painter (over 60 gallery exhibits), Sergio Arau's designs have found their way into film, music videos, record/CD covers. His tattoo work with film director, Alejandro Jodorowsky (El Topo, The Sacred Mountain) in Santa Sangre (Holy Blood) was internationally celebrated. As a musician, Arau and his group, Botellita de Jerez (1983-88) began what is now known as 'Rock en Español'. His fusion of traditional/contemporary Mexican sounds with classic rock'n'roll gave rise to 'GuacaRock'. Botellita's "Naco es Chido" (1985) became the battle cry of a generation and continues into today, having found its way into the tee shirt & sticker market. Arau designed the group’s instruments and look and creating the "Charrockero" fashion and artwork that came to be known as ArtNacó.
