Muerte is a celebration of the master of black ink, Mike Giant. He has achieved fame as a graffiti artist, illustrator, and tattooist. Whether his medium is concrete, paper or skin, his signature style - made up of equal parts Mexican folk art and Japanese illustration - is unmistakable. Latin and Hispanic culture play a major role in the execution of his silhouettes, which  resemble buxom pin-up femme fatale's and assorted other voluptuous characters, often with skulls and animal tentacles.
"Flawless lines and the use of low key icons are only on aspect of Mike Giants work. Check out what lies beneath. Though everything seems controlled, under the surface there is an incredible amount of references on can find. His references are not only about folk art or religious or philosophical, there is much more. It is like a laquered, trapped in time, reflection of the world complexity where love and hate mix where everything is dual, so simple and yet so hard to live. In this sense, being a great and original artist, Mike Giant has this capacity to go beyond and bring us back the unseen, the unspoken." Magda Danysz
