The powerful imagery of José Luis López Galván

In the works of Mexican artist José Luis López Galván, humans become their own parasites.

Some paintings remind us of the Homo homini lupus est Latin phrase, through the image of the mythological lycanthrope, as they bring to light the monsters dwelling inside us.

We like how the artist deconstructs or intertwines his hybrid creatures, the rich surrealist imagery, with dark and sometimes erotic references and the symbols used to communicate concepts of death, fear, hypocrisy and the “sins” of man.
