BARRIO CAFE

by Lalo Cota

“What's my favorite piece?” Asked by @PHXMagazine in 2015 Lalo Cota responded "The next one." His work clearly reflects the influence of Chicano low-rider culture, but instead of the spray paint favored by many of his peers Cota prefers to wield brush and roller. In any case, wherever "his next one" is, Cota's blending of vibrant color and bold but playful imagery will no doubt continue to infuse the work with positive energy and explain why the self-taught father of two has become one of the most loved muralists in Phoenix. This luchadore inspired work sits behind N 16th St Silvana Salcido Esparza restaurant @TheBarrioCafe—ground zero for the Calle 16 Arts District. Sitting on a north-facing wall in a somewhat protected alcove behind the restaurant has undoubtedly helped, but after almost 4 years this 2015 work still looks like new.  @lalocota/  @calle16phx/
