Apolo Cacho lives and works in Mexico City. He was part of DocJoc Releases, the director of " The Taco Psychotropic " comic book series based on the novel " The Magic Mountain " by Thomas Mann and " The Rite of Spring " by Alejo Carpentier . He is a painter and draftsman , much of his work focuses on the theme : " The only thing that progresses over time is technology. Both humans as art does , it is always the same" .

His work is an illustrated epic of ancient times or future affirmations. From now useless, the history of a civilization , a vast container succession of wonders , great achievements and prowess , while the lowest -maker and humiliation actions against the man himself.

The paradoxical relationship between art and the human being via renewal of creative processes and simultaneously, the method by which the artist basks in its own shit in exchange for a little recognition , consideration and fame. The art is thus a product of civilization itself: uplifting and embarrassing.

Vive y trabaja en la ciudad de México. Forma parte de Ediciones ¡Joc Doc!. Realizador de "El Taco Psicotrópico", saga de cómics inspirada en la novela "La montaña mágica" de Thomas Mann y "La consagración de la primavera" de Alejo Carpentier. Es pintor y dibujante, gran parte de su trabajo se centra en el lema: "Lo único que progresa con el paso del tiempo es la tecnología. Tanto el ser humano como el arte no, siempre es el mismo".

Su trabajo es una épica ilustrada de tiempos remotos o futuros, afirmadores del presente. De este momento inútil, de la historia de una civilización, contenedora de una vasta sucesión de maravillas, grandes logros y proezas, a la vez hacedora de las más bajas acciones y humillaciones contra el hombre mismo.

La paradójica relación del arte con el ser humano: vía renovadora de los procesos creativos y a la vez, método por el cual el artista se regodea en su propia mierda a cambio de un poco de reconocimiento, consideración y fama. El arte es así, producto de la civilización misma: enaltecedor y vergonzante.
