Jamex and Einar de la Torre's mixed-medium assemblages El Fix (left foreground), 1997; Serpents and Ladders (center left), 1998; and The Source: Virgins and Crosses (right, 30-pieces), 1999.
The brothers Einar and Jamex de la Torre also work within the dialect of border's visual sensibilities. Born in Guadalajara, they now have studios in Ensenada and just across the broder in San Diego. Described in the catalogue as "post identity" and "post Latino", they have developed a vocabulary comprising disparate elements and found objects, often melded into an armature of exquisitely ornate glass. A traveling exhibition examines the scope and sensibility of what its curators call "post-Latin American" art.
