NEW YORK, NY.- Ruiz-Healy Art is presenting de la Torre Brothers: Psychopomp, marking the brothers' second solo exhibition with the gallery and their first in New York City. The exhibition is on view from May 12 to August 14, 2026. “Psychopomp” literally means the ‘guide of souls’ for a spiritual guide who leads souls on their journey to the afterlife. The de la Torre Brothers create elaborate, mixed-media glass sculptures and lenticular prints, utilizing the concept of the psychopomp to explore themes of cultural transience. Their Baroque-inspired creatures create visually dense narratives that reflect on “high” versus “low” art, diasporic experiences, and social class stratification through humorous world-building.
