Einar and Jamex de la Torre, “The Chosen Tribe – Pendejo y Cabrón,” 2010, blown glass, mixed media sculpture, 32 x 20 x 5 inches.
When you think of a landscape artwork, what do you see?
I picture a painting, with a large sky and small hills, like the ones that surround me in San Antonio. However, the scenes in Madre Tierra are not your typical landscapes. Instead, the artworks invite viewers to contemplate their own rapport with nature. This group show at Ruiz-Healy Art showcases topographies by various artists whom the gallery represents and/or exhibits; Nate Cassie, Alejandro Diaz, Andrés Ferrandis, Consuelo Jimenez Underwood, Matt Kleberg, Leigh Anne Lester, Constance Lowe, Katie Pell, Chuck Ramirez, Daniel Rios Rodriguez, Frank Romero, Eric Santoscoy-McKillip, Ethel Shipton, and Einar and Jamex de la Torre.
