ArtWork Details
Chucho de Alfombra by El Zanate turns a humble stray dog into a bold symbol of rebellion. As a result, this piece captures both innocence and defiance in one striking composition. Selûn Collective offers this limited edition giclée print as part of the 2025 Print Collection. It comes in A2 size (59.4 × 42 cm / 23.4 × 16.5″) on Hahnemühle German Etching paper.
In Guatemala, the "chucho" — the stray dog that roams every street — is both overlooked and ever-present. However, El Zanate takes this familiar figure and elevates it into something powerful. Specifically, the dog sheds its innocence and becomes a challenge to imposed norms. Vibrant colors, raw brushwork, and irreverent energy fill the composition. In other words, this is pop art filtered through the chaos and culture of Guatemala City.
Furthermore, El Zanate's work draws directly from the streets he inhabits. The shouts of vendors, the graffiti on the walls, the bustling markets , all of these find their way into his palette and his attitude. Above all, he has no interest in perfection or softness. Instead, what moves him is the raw and direct. Consequently, Chucho de Alfombra by Zanate delivers exactly that: a piece that shakes you and invites you to look deeper.
