Here at Pinchito we love street art. There is something rather delicious about art splashed on urban banality- and Spain has given birth to some of the greatest street artists to come out of Europe.

Barcelona-born Sergio Hidalgo, who goes under the alias of Sixeart, is a name that is already on the lips of London’s street art scene, with his work having made it on the external wall of the Tate Modern for their Street Art exhibition back in 2008. His series of repeated figures and animals combine a child-like innocence with psychedelic colours and a hallucinogenic style, which makes us go slightly trippy. Hidalgo himself describes his unique work as ‘sinister tragicomedy with notes of psychopathy and touches of acid.’ Sounds like our kind of guy.

BELIN

Belin, who hails from Southern Spain, uses a mix of realism, caricature and surrealism to bring texture and life to his creations. Think flawless photo-realistic  human faces- tacked onto robot arms, or elasticated into deformity. Belin’s character graffiti reflects his desire to deliver social and visual impact. This is apparent in his careful weaving of perspective, colour and personality of his graffiti – which delivers explosively good results.
