Dr Lakra – Abandonado, 2009 – Lithograph

View in a Room

Abandonado by Dr. Lakra is a lithograph that captures themes of despair and abandonment through intense, noir-style imagery. The composition features a central female figure with flowing hair, her face marked by tears, evoking a sense of sorrow. Surrounding her, ghostly hands reach out, adding a layer of unease and vulnerability. Other fragmented faces emerge within the shadows, hinting at emotional turmoil and complex inner dialogues. Dr. Lakra’s use of monochrome tones amplifies the artwork’s haunting quality, while the limited edition (4/25) makes each piece a unique window into this evocative scene.

Dr. Lakra (Mexico, 1972), born Jerónimo López Ramírez, is a contemporary artist renowned for his tattoo-inspired art. He transforms vintage illustrations, anatomical prints, and found objects by overlaying them with bold, graphic designs. His works explore themes of identity, culture, and the body, blending traditional tattoo aesthetics with fine art.

What is Surrealism?

Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
