Joseba Muruzábal Pérez

The life of young men in small Spanish towns often verges on struggle and self-destruction. They establish their own hierarchy and their own ways of confirming this hierarchy. Joseba Muruzábal Pérez documents these life philosophies with fascination and understanding through photorealistic paintings that depict his friends with their dogs, or scenes of their favorite sport, boxing. The accompanying video “Chicho, Pancho ancompany” captures, with frank austerity, life on the verge of criminality, drugs, illegal races… and true friendship. –pv-
