Born in Guanajuato, Mexico, Marcos Raya is a Chicago based artist, well known for his murals throughout Pilsen. Overtly political, his work focuses on themes such as economic disparity, racism, illness and alcoholism, and is imbued with elements of Rascuachismo.

He also has two published books, The Fetish of Pain and Fetishizing the Imaginary.

TJ, Portrait of a Male Boxer with Two Black Eyes, Blue and Beige Background
By Peter Lupkin
Located in Chicago, IL
Exploring the tension between the individual and their social archetype, Lupkin chooses his subjects from his local gym where they study boxing. In this intimate portrait, TJ is painted with soft loose brush strokes which contrast with his two black eyes. The painting is framed with a simple black floater frame measuring 17h x 13w inches.
