ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Werc was born in Cd. Juarez, grew up in El Paso where he began Graff writing around 1992. He left El Paso in 1997 and floated around a bit until he landed in Los Angeles where he is currently based. He mainly creates his works with found objects and tends to favor working with cardboard and doing collage. He is also very known for his street art and murals. The common theme in his work tends to be the border issues and related 'political' topics though he is often inspired by other social issues and current events. He is inspired by life and all it entails - friends, other art, childhood memories, political occurrences and social issues.
