Saturday we hosted a closing reception for Ruben Morales artist and sculptor
Morales, who studied at Bellas Artes school in Morelia, Mich explains that he paints to create feelings or emotions, through rural and traditional Mexican scenes: an ice lolly man pushing his trolley, a woman selling pottery in a market, a country scene.
Morales, sells most of his paints on the street in Morelia.
Morales has been sponsored by the Casa de las Artesanias in Morelia. His paints are already decorating several houses in San Miguel, Tucson, Phoenix, Florida and Buffalo, NY. He has shown in Uruguay and in Puerto Vallarta
We wish to thank Ruben for all his effort, we wish him all the best for the future and we look forward to his next exhibition next year.
Bordello Art Gallery
This coming Sunday we will have the opening featuring artist Dick Crispo at 2.30 pm
Dick Crispo is a full time practicing artist, historian and ethnologist from Monterrey, CA.
His paintings are from his masks series, which deal with his personal views of the human comedy and drama and the influences of his coming to Mexico for about 50 years and his interests in his masks collection on the role of Mexican wrestlers. His first show about wrestlers was after coming back from Mexico City and seeing the wrestling matches in a large open area and particularly the wrestler Heli Capturo who ended in the arena by coming down in a helicopter, "I found it exciting and terrifying at the same time" comments Crispo.
" I won 38 awards including 2 American Arts Grantee and Awards and in 1969 the Panamerican Graphics Award in Mexico City. I was also the American Culture Specialist for Latin American with the US Department"
He looks forward sharing the work he has done during the fall stay in San Miguel.
"San Miguel is my favorite part of Mexico and I have been coming here since 1972.
The media of the paintings are water colors and graphite, he has also worked in large scale in oils and acrylic with this theme.
