Monday Murals: X3MEX

It's time to join Sami at Sami's Colourful World and her Monday Murals. Although I'm posting at my regular time, please be aware that Sami's mural link won't go live until 11:01 a.m. my time.

This is another mural I found on the north end of my neighborhood.  It is divided into three pieces which were all painted by an artist known as X3MEX.

I don't speak Spanish, so I have no idea what the mural is telling us.

This triptych was created in 2018.

Although I seem to have cut off the first "X" in his name, you can see in the lower left of this mural, this is how he signs his name.

There are two distinct projects that honor muralists in Wichita, Kansas (USA).  One is Avenue Art Days, which is primarily focused downtown.  I've shown several Avenue Art Days murals in the past.  The second is the Horizontes Project, which focuses more on the north end of Wichita.  This, as you can read is a Horizontes Project.  I live between the two projects, so I have a plethora of murals to discover over the next few months.

I found X3MEX's bio on the internet.  He was born in Mexico, then immigrated to Arkansas, a state in the United States, in 1994.  Here is how he describes his work:

Focus on social issues, I am a visual artist whose mediums range from graphic design, screen printing, mural painting, canvas painting, photography, sculpture, and graffiti. I’m active in my community, am an organizer of cultural events, have painted all through the US and Mexico, from Chiapas, Mexico City, Juarez, NY City, all through the South, Portland, to name a few. From the Spanish embassy in Mexico city to small neighborhoods in Juarez and elsewhere. I’m a co-founder member of the art collective, Movimiento Hunab Ku and member of Colectivo Reziste.

His work is found on Instagram at @x3mex, but I'm not a member, so was only able to see about six images before it went dark and told me to sign in or sign up.  What I DID see were a couple of murals he's created featuring George Floyd.

This mural is located at 130 E. 21st St., Wichita, Kansas (USA).
