Pixel Pancho is an Italian artist considered one of the leading figures of the international street art scene.  His work often features the aesthetics of fifties-style robots or Japanese manga. At this exhibition in Mexico, Pancho showcased both an enormous mural and a scrap metal sculpture depicting two robots asleep under a blanket of grass.

  

In an interview with El Universal , Italian artist says "Mexico is one of the few countries in America where there is a mix between settlers and natives. That interests me, and also live together, in other countries the settlers have ruined other cultures ". To Pixel Pancho, the important of street art is to convey a message. "Now everyone wants to paint big, but sometimes do not understand is that anything, great or not, no matter what size, what matters is to be original and try to say something about the work,

"Rinascita"

Rinascita is an examination of the social transition experienced by Mexico, but it applies to any case in the world.  According to the artist, "Every time you have a story, like Italy, and Mexico. Everyone is now having an economic crisis that will surely bring a change. I also here they are in a turnaround time of your life. What I'm doing is a Mexican symbology now that is dying, leaving a new one is born. I've been putting local Mexican symbols, but I could tell the world. "  Rad more at AllCityCanvas.
