Dr. Lakra
Mexican-born
Dr. Lakra (Jerónimo López Ramírez), born in 1972, is a renowned tattoo artist
based in Oaxaca, Mexico. Under his pseudonym, Dr. Lakra ("Dr." because he carried his tattoo equipment in a
doctor’s bag, and "lacra," a Mexican expression that suggests a scar
or a mark on the skin, and the scum of the earth), he draws over
vintage printed materials and found objects, manipulating
images of pin-up girls, 1940s Mexican businessmen, luchadores, and Japanese
sumo wrestlers. His gallery installations are cabinets of curiosities featuring
intricate wall paintings of beautiful women, indigenous statues and deities,
collages crafted from vintage magazines penned and inked by the artist, human-like
insect heads encased in vitrines, dolls that have been transformed into gang
members, and images of pin-up girls with full tattoo sleeves. Using traditional
tattoo iconography as well as a free hand drawing style, Dr. Lakra brings
energy to every page, canvas, or object that he floods with paint and
ink. Dr. Lakra was the subject of a solo exhibition at the Drawing Center
in New York, which followed a show of his work at the Institute of Contemporary
Art in Boston in 2010. He has exhibited widely throughout Mexico, the United
States, and Europe at venues such as the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Oaxaca
(MACO), Oaxaca, Mexico; Tate Modern, London, England; Matthew Marks Gallery in
New York, NY; Galerie Chantel Crousel in Paris, France; and Andrew Kreps
Gallery in New York, NY.
