Art like PichiAvo: original graffiti-meets-classical works to collect
PichiAvo — the Valencia duo Juan Antonio Sánchez (Pichi) and Álvaro Hernández (Avo), working together since 2007 — fuse Greco-Roman classical sculpture with raw graffiti into what they call "Urbanmythology". Internationally recognised, they painted for Montréal's MURAL Festival (2019) on St-Laurent. Their collision of high classicism and street energy embodies the urban-art sensibility L'Original champions.
What defines the PichiAvo style
Photorealistic classical gods and statues emerging from layers of spray-paint tags, drips and colour: PichiAvo set museum-grade figuration against pure graffiti, and let the two argue on the same surface. It's monumental, virtuosic and unmistakably contemporary urban art.
