Klappentext

The acclaimed director of The Book of Life returns with an
original art book celebrating the mix between American pop culture and
Mexican folklore. This bilingual (English-Spanish) book is a loving
reflection of Mexican artist Jorge R. Gutiérrez s childhood narrative of
the re-appropriated pop culture references he grew up with, seeing them
on his daily walks across the MexicöU. S. border.

Gutiérrez created more than 100 paintings in his unique style, each
proposing a bootleg version of popular characters, artists, and
musicians, from Spiderman and the Powerpuff Girls to David Bowie and
Tupac Shakur; homage is also paid to Mexican icons, including Frida
Kahlo, Pancho Villa, Lucha Libre, and the 1986 Mexican World Cup mascot.

As the new American administration s politics raises awareness about migrants all over the world, Border Bang
is a love letter to diversity and cross-cultural dialogue, with appeal
to fans of both American pop culture and traditional Mexican folklore.
