Earlier this year I had the great pleasure of presenting the project La Expo en Vinagre, at the Municipal Gallery of Art in Mérida Yucatán, México : a pictorial approach based on the esthetics and speech from the characters of my web comic La Tuya en Vinagre.
La Expo en Vinagre pretends to immerse the Lobaberta and company followers in the unsolicited aberrant expansion of the microuniverse from the web comic La Tuya en Vinagre. Three years after the birth of this personal project, we celebrated turning this space into a vinagrienta experience whose exposure is a work collection that alluds the concept, that is judged and sabotaged by himself.
La Tuya en Vinagre is the worst project from the illustrator Sergio Neri. The worst idea in the wrong time and in the worst circumstances. A delusional and self-destructive set of characters, specious notes and misconceptions although so human ideas that don´t leaves us no other choice than lower our guard and pet them.
We opened a space where our depressive and sexual she-wolf, Lobaberta Sullivana, lives with such unlikely characters like a annoying severed thumb, a rundown huaychivo (half man half goat on mayan culture) and dozens of vicious bastard puppies.
After years of inclusion in commercial graphics, designing advertising characters, doing editorial illustration or participating in animated projects, Sergio Neri invites you to this flow of the unconscious where nothing matters, where the biting humour , critical and uncomfortable, is the perfect excuse for the establishment of a genuine aesthetic and personal proposal, free from commercial criteria, market studies and complex cumbersome briefs.
