Calicho Arévalo |The Wildlife Architect
Calicho Arévalo (also known as Calicho Art) is a Colombian-born, New York-based muralist and architectural designer whose career bridges the gap between structured urban design and surrealist street art. Since arriving in NYC in 2017, he has become widely recognized for his evolution from classical drafting to a signature "Wildlife Oxymoron" style that blends vibrant, organic animal guardians with the rigid, geometric grit of the concrete jungle.
The Partnership
The Twenty 5 Ate collaboration with Prolific Wone highlights Arévalo’s ability to evolve a single’s identity through transformative visual storytelling. For the original single release, Arévalo delivered a vibrant, full-color composition that utilized his signature layering of organic energy and structured urban geometry.
However, when the BLVKC album arrived, Arévalo reinvented the artwork into a stark, monochromatic masterpiece. This remixed version deconstructed the original colorful elements into high-contrast monochromatic masterpiece, mirroring the album's darker, more cohesive sonic direction. By stripping away the color, he shifted the focus to pure form and texture, effectively turning the visual into a "blackout" reflection of the street-level grit found in the music.
