Above you can see José Luis Cuevas` impressive "La Gigantesca" in the courtyard patio. The androgynous sculpture was created in 1991 and inspired by a poem by Baudelaire.
Above Leonel Góngora´s charming collage "Cuevas por Góngora" (1970, Collage sobre tela, 120 x 100 cm). Apparently a homage to Cuevas.
Artistic Landscapes
Above and below my favorites, images by Obras de Álvaro Blancarte. The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, which collects some of his work, explains: "For more than six decades, Álvaro Blancarte has been mining the topography of Baja California and defining the artistic landscape of this region. Inspired by the mythologies of the Kumiai culture, the light that shines on the mountains of Tecate, and the idyllic scenery described in Latin American literature, Blancarte experiments with textures, materials, and colors to depict the splendor of the deserts of Baja California. Blancarte uses sands and marble powder mixed with acrylic and enamel paints" (mcasd.org)
To show the idiosyncrasy of Blancarte`s work and techniques a combine each image with a detail shot.
