Arturo Artorez: La Vida Iluminada
Recommended
As a security guard at the Seattle Art Museum, Arturo Artorez would often doodle on the employee timecards to pass the long hours. His sketching eventually transformed into miniature works of art in small notebooks, usually in ink, graphite or ballpoint pen. That was over 20 years ago. Now an accomplished artist, both in Seattle and in his hometown of Mexico City, Artorez is known for his depictions of violence, humanity, compassion, and protest.
