Pablo Delgado
'Didn’t See it Coming'

Mexican Born artist Pablo Delgado moved to London eight years ago to pursue a career in art, never expecting for it to flourish the way it has, Delgado was inspired by the simultaneous claustrophobia and promise of London’s streets.

The artist’s distinctive street work plays with public perception, creating visual illusions in the form of his bizarre parallel universe of cut and pasted figures. With the aid of the artist’s characteristic marker-drawn shadows, these surreal scenes extend out into the viewer’s space.

Starting by pasting small doors on walls as a way of opening up these streets, this developed into his signature motif of miniature characters.

Delgado’s micro worlds expand our sense of perception and reality in humorous and highly technical ways, and has resulted in cult followings in both the UK and internationally.

Since expanding his media range, he has shown his installation works internationally, from Canada and L.A. to multiple shows here in London.

Here at Nelly Duff we are proud to say that we produced his first edition, confirming our belief that his surreal and delicate style would translate flawlessly to print. His subsequent editions have all been highly sought after, and have been a huge hit with every release!
