Profile: Alex Rosa

Alex Rosa draws on paper, mostly using pencil and pen but he also flirts every now and then with different medias. The funny-strange drawings, part pop culture/polical affairs/personal experiences, part phantasmagorical spell, wry and filled with an intricate, transporting cryptcness aim to tell a narrative. Small size sketches and zine will be on display. He will be available for on the spot portraiture.
