"Little Neighbour / Pequeño Vecino"
By: Megan Oldhues
Exclusive Limited Edition prints, signed and numbered by artist Megan Oldhues.
This print depicts Megan’s recent mural in the community of Villas Otoch Paraíso (Cancun, Mexico). The community is shaped by wide, open spaces where children play freely, animals roam, and cars and found objects rest-relinquishing time that has quietly passed. Seen from ground level, the animals, objects, and land stand as small neighbours too.
