Lucid Dreams: Alehsy Lambo & Osier Luther

I don’t remember exactly when I met Osier. What I do know for sure is that during the Suburban shop era — those who know, know — or around Plaza de Armas skatepark, where there were often people painting graffiti, he was always around, hanging out with his group of friends. Even as a kid, you could already see his curiosity, style, and attitude.

As for Alehsy, it's better not to remember when I met him… he must have been just over a meter tall. But overnight, Seville was suddenly covered in his tags and throw-ups, painted at a height only a really small kid could reach. It was obvious: he was a little guy full of enthusiasm and determination.

It has always been a source of pride to see how graffiti writers from Seville have managed to make a name for themselves nationally — and these two have done just that.

What fascinates me most about Osier and Alehsy is how they’ve taken their work beyond walls and canvases, promoting it with a creative freedom that escapes the rigid codes of both contemporary art and traditional graffiti. They’ve launched everything from sock collections to prints and ceramics, all through social media, with the kind of commercial savvy that allows them to live entirely off their creativity.

And that’s not even mentioning how Alehsy travels the world tattooing his classic Lambo — a Lamborghini — rendered in a style that could be described as what’s now called "ignorant," but that once would’ve been labeled outsider art, art brut, or neo-expressionism.

Something I’ve noticed when I show Alehsy’s work to colleagues in Seville, if they know it at all, they’re surprised to learn he’s from here. Alehsy lives — literally — everywhere: New York, Mexico City, Barcelona, Tokyo, all over Europe. His work has traveled the world, yet, curiously, had never been shown in Seville.

Osier’s path has been the opposite: he chose to leave the big city and return to his hometown, seeking the calm needed to create from a place of introspection. And yet, thanks to the internet and social media, his work has still crossed borders.

For Laura and me, there are certain principles that guide us when choosing which artists to work with. In the case of Osier and Alehsy, several key reasons stand out: One is the importance of showcasing local artists. We believe it’s the gallery’s responsibility to give visibility to what’s happening in the local scene. It’s not just a gesture of support — it’s a statement of intent. It’s about using our experience and network to spotlight what’s happening right now, and doing so in the best possible framework. It means opening a door and showing the public that something important is happening right around them — even if they hadn’t noticed yet.

We believe in giving a platform to contemporary creation, offering both space and the tools it needs to grow. While both artists primarily work with painting, they experiment across materials, formats, and visual languages. Their work resists classification: Is it digital art? Post-internet? Post-graffiti? Expanded painting? Their approach is deeply rooted in a digitally native sensibility. They’re artists who understand the world through 0s and 1s, and who speak from — and to — a generation that mixes glitch, collage, muralism, comic book aesthetics, classical painting (technically: oil on canvas), and internet culture without asking permission.

Both artists’ work feels like a lucid dream; and their creative process reflects exactly that.

In Osier’s words: “Lucid Dreams got its name because, for us, this project has been like a dream… but a lucid one, where you’re in control and fully aware of what you’re creating. It’s been an incredible journey in which we’ve been able to elevate the level in all aspects: from the creative process to the final result. Everything we’ve done so far has led us to this point, and this exhibition represents a milestone — a moment where we feel like everything fits together.”

Their work doesn’t just represent a style — it represents a mindset, a way of seeing, inhabiting, and translating the world. Experiencing it means entering an aesthetic and cultural space that’s deeply connected to Generation Z, but also to a bold, free, and committed way of making art.

We need more of this.
