Robotlicue (2013)
Hugo Crosthwaite
Robotlicue depicts a mashup of Robby the Robot from the cult sci-fi movie Forbidden Planet and Coatlicue, the Aztec mother of gods who birthed the sun, the moon, the stars, and war god Huitzilopochtli. Around the black-and-white graphite and painted portrait--a style that looks part Xerox-punk flyer and part El Greco--children climb on the robot, wearing jet packs and Jetsons-style astronaut helmets.
