The duo offers a clever take on the Latino experience and American culture through humor and earnest critique. Given their binational and bicultural background, their work is often interpreted through the lens of border art. They use a chameleonic-kaleidoscopic process to create art that unfolds into a myriad of layered images and meanings, conveying concepts such as identity, mestizaje, Latinidad, hybridity, globalization, and biculturalism. High and low culture, the sacred and the profane, and the esoteric and the pop collide in the brothers’ works. They have collaborated closely as artists for 20 years. Although they began working in glass, shaping figurative work that often drew on their Mexican roots, they have moved toward larger sculpture and installation work.Exhibitions
