DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: Dr. Lakra=0D=0AEvent Url: http://www.artsboston.org/event/detail/57119=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2010-04-14=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2010-09-06=0D=0A=0D=0ADiscover the playful and provocative works of this artist and accomplished tattooist Jerónimo López Ramírez, also known as Dr. Lakra, is an renowned tattoo artist who lives and works in Oaxaca, Mexico. Under his pseudonym, loosely translating as “Dr. Delinquent,” he draws over vintage printed materials and found objects rather than skin, manipulating images of pin-up girls, 1940s Mexican businessmen, luchadores, and Japanese sumo wrestlers. Referencing diverse body art traditions from Chicano, Maori, Thai, and Philippine cultures, Dr. Lakra layers spiders, skulls, crosses, serpents, and devils over these existing images. Playful, naughty, and often intentionally vulgar, his work challenges social norms by blurring cultural identities. Dr. Lakra, the artist's first solo exhibition in the U.S., will present works from a variety of series and a newly-commissioned mural.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:Tuesday and Wednesday 10 am - 5 pm=0D=0A=Thursday and Friday 10 am - 9 pm=0D=0A=Saturday and Sunday 10 am - 5 pm=0D=0A=Closed Monday, except on the following national holidays: Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Patriot's Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Columbus Day.=0D=0A=Closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day.
