Those who’ve passed through Hillcrest recently might have observed an epic lucha libre wrestling match taking place near the sidewalk. When I walked by last Saturday, a fierce luchador had his opponent in a devastating head lock. Several onlookers were cheering! And a young would-be luchador was standing by, emulating his masked hero!
The big wrestling event, as you might have guessed, is colorfully painted street art. Two electrical boxes have become canvases for the scene!
The artist is Gerardo Meza. Here’s his Instagram page. You’ve quite possibly seen other examples of his work around San Diego, particularly down in San Ysidro near the Mexican border. That’s where I originally discovered some of his very unique street art many years ago.
You, too, can watch this fun lucha libre wrestling on Sixth Avenue, a bit south of Anderson Place!
