Building on the themes of love and inclusion that have been at the heart of Burton’s work, the company has teamed up with the gifted artist Enrique Larios to develop a bright and cheerful new range that is all about pride and togetherness. The Burton x Enrique Larios Artist Series is a stunning line that captures the essence of the Mexican artist and his work by applying it to Burton’s functional and high-performance outdoor equipment.
The Vision Behind the Collection
Burton’s Artist Series focuses on promoting lesser-known artists and athletes in outdoor culture. For this year’s collection, they collaborated with Enrique Larios, an independent queer graphic designer and illustrator from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. The art of Enrique can be described as a combination of fantasy and reality where the author uses the peculiarities of different media and techniques.
Enrique, being a part of the queer community, puts his feelings and emotions into performing arts that send out strong messages of love, togetherness and unity to the people of the world. This collection is definitely unique due to the bright colors and cheerful characters that are characteristic of him.
