La Querencia Peligrosa "koten" report
For about three weeks recently, La Querencia Peligrosa, street artist better known as QP, exhibited recent works at The Ghetto. The works displayed ranged from paintings to everyday items, all adorned by the artist's original designs.
Some of them were quite hilarious, especially those traditional Japanese paintings with a special touch.
Most of the stuff there was for sale, making this a unique opportunity to take QP works home! Of course we couldn't resist, and bought a black "door" consisting of a painted plastic sheet mounted between two black frames.
The exhibition ended last Sunday and we went to get the piece on Monday, and we were delighted to unexpectedly get to meet QP who kindly packaged the piece and even took a bit of time to chat!

Wait a minute. If that graffiti artist is having an exhibition that means that his identity is known which means that the cops can come and arrest him for all the "vandalism," right?
Am I missing something or is graffiti legal in this country?

I'm no lawyer, but I don't think cops can arrest someone who did graffiti unless caught "pants down".

Looks really nice! I would love to have one of those 'woodblock' paintings.
Do you have a picture of the piece you bought?

Hey Erik! No picture yet of the piece in its new environment, but it can be seen on the first exhibition photo above. It's the open black door, and came complete with hinge and screws. :)
The woodblock paintings were pretty nice. They only had very discreet QP touches, his characters hidden in the scene.

I added photos of it still in packaging.

I really really like his work. The black door looks a bit like a design for a Halcali cover, btw.
We've only got one real work of art in our home, a picture of a stuffed elephant. But w're thinking of asking someone to make a big (6x2 m) wallpainting in our living room soon...

I see what you mean about the Halcali ressemblance. :)
Hopefully you'll find a good way to decorate your living room!
