Dark Humor Decals For Everyday Absurdity: Amazing Acrylic Paintings by Javier Mayoral
Javier Mayoral, also known as Pulp Brother, is a Spanish self-taught painter born in 1961 in northern Spain, now based in Miami, FL, with 335K Instagram followers and over 10,000 small acrylic paintings produced since 2007.
Originally an advertising copywriter and art director in Spain, then a private chef in the US (including Florida Keys), he turned his hobby into a full-time career around 2014–2015 via Instagram virality, with shows at Corey Helford Gallery (LA), Guy Hepner (NY), Artemizia Foundation, and Arts Factory (France).
His works are minimalist, witty acrylics on 8×10″ wood panels — flat pop-art colors, simple icons (housewives, dogs, burgers, cocktails, philosophers), and hand-painted sarcastic captions like “Fuck this shit” next to a joint-smoking woman or Freud pondering existential dread.
