Circo Gringo

Not wishing to disclose name, age, gender or cultural background the fiercely private and immensely talented artist known only as Circo Gringo is fascinated by the haunting atmosphere of fairgrounds, sideshows and the circus.

​

Always trying but never quite managing to render this obsession into puppets, masks and other peculiar works. Each piece is slightly tattered and purposely unsigned to give the effect of becoming time-worn and anonymous; as though it might have been found in an abandoned theatre or some other forgotten place.
