Ricky Sencion found self-acceptance and liberation through pink sheep. He plasters them across the city in hopes of bringing ‘little expressions of joy’ to Angelenos.
It began with a quote by Alexander McQueen: 'I am the pink sheep in the family.' In 2013, L.A.-based contemporary street artist Ricky Sencion read a biography of the late designer and immediately connected with that feeling. More than a black sheep, but rather a pink sheep, was how Sencion felt growing up as a queer child of Mexican immigrants on the Eastside of L.A.
” Dastin was first introduced to Sencion's art a decade ago, after launching Art and Seeking, a platform aimed at bringing street art to the mainstream. While Sencion's art is rooted in the LGBTQ+ community, Dastin was struck by how universal his message is, allowing the queer narratives and characters in his sheep to be approachable and joyous.
