Einar and Jamex de la Torre, Eau de David, 2014, Silver print and mixed media, 27.5 x 26.75 x 6.25 cm
Ruiz-Healy’s Threading Glass brings together powerhouse names of Contemporary Latinx art, Consuelo Jimenez Underwood and Einar and Jamex de la Torre, placing their historically marginalized materials into a space of fine art reverence. Underwood’s rich, intricately patterned textiles span one side of the gallery in desaturated, earthy tones and the de la Torre brothers’ vibrant, glass-based multimedia sculptures on the other, weaving together to provide a compelling meditation on identity, spirituality, and cultural hybridity.
