French Camp 16.10.1940 — Los Angeles 24.07.2011
Gilbert Lujan was an American sculptor and muralist. He is better known in professional circles under the pseudonym "Magu".
Magu's work became popular throughout the 1980s and 1990s for its use of colourful imagery, anthropomorphic animals, lowrider images of outrageously proportioned sizes, decorated with overlapping indigenous motifs (cities, graffiti), Dia De Los Muertos installations, altars and all manner of pop culture borrowings.
