Latin American artist who are seriously excellent.

First saw some works at MALBA, Museum of Art Latinamericano Buenos Aires, at the 'Arte Latinoamericano 1919 - 2010' exhibition.
Am only going to show three images of their work but I would advice you to seek further images if interested. These are not the kind of artists you learn about in art school.
I find myself saying to complete strangers in the gallery: 'wow'. Art nerd behaviour.
I have dedicated some collages to them. True champions of form, colour, composition and poerty.

Patterns and texchas.

These are on the pavements, on walls, grates, etc.
They are creeping into my thoughts and processes.
