CHINA IS GETTING OLDER
Illustration for El Correo
I was able to bring the figure of Chichi to different schools in the province of Lugo through this mural in which I wanted to make a nod to his fresh and expressive graphic style.
The characters travel in a pencil, a tool that, like humor, has the power to change our reality, eliminate prejudices and (re)write the future.
The Sargadelos doll represents the period in which Chichi was director of the Sargadelos gallery in Santiago de Compostela, which became the cultural center of the city at that time.
Castelao, very present in Campos’ work, was part of his imaginary characters and the dog refers to the satirical magazine “Can Sen Dono”, in which he actively participated.
The murals are part of the IlustrarNós program organized by the Culture Area of the Diputación de Lugo.
Xesús -Chichi- Campos fue un humorista gráfico, periodista, guionista y unos de los pioneros del cómic en gallego durante la transición. Un home polifacético con un humor ácido e irreverente cuyas viñetas siguen muy vigentes hoy en día.
Pude hacer llegar la figura de Chichi a diferentes centros de enseñanza de la provincia de Lugo a través de este mural en el que quise hacer un guiño a su estilo gráfico fresco y expresivo.
Los personajes viajan en un lápiz, herramienta que al igual que el humor tiene el poder de cambiar nuestra realidad, eliminar prejuicios y (re)escribir el futuro.
La muñeca de Sargadelos representa la etapa en la que Chichi fue director de la galería Sargadelos de Compostela convirtiéndose en el centro cultural de la ciudad en aquella época.
Castelao, muy presente en la obra de Campos, formaba parte de su imaginario de personajes y el perro hace referencia a la revista satírica «Can Sen Dono», en la que participó activamente.
Los murales forman parte del programa IlustrarNós organizado por el Área de Cultura de la Diputación de Lugo.
