Looking Back/Moving Forward: Contemporary Mexican American Art

September 10, 2010 By Staff

OCEANSIDE–In honor of the Mexican Bicentennial Oceanside Museum of Art will present “Looking Back / Moving Forward: Contemporary Mexican-American Art,” an exhibition that celebrates Mexican culture by examining the recent work of Einar and Jamex de la Torre and Raul Guerrero.

The art created by these three artists addresses important cultural and historical concepts with very personal perspectives and extremely different mediums.

Inspired by Spanish Mexican colonial art, kitsch and the Baroque aesthetic the de la Torre brothers create Pop Assemblage art primarily of glass and found objects. Layers of symbolic and cultural meaning fused with whimsical and humorous imagery tell stories reflecting their wide range of social and political interests.

Raul Guerrero employs a representational style of painting to comment on themes of history, cultural and social stereotypes and place. The paintings on view from his “Bars, Women and Fast Food” series, represent a variety of images related to California’s history. “Looking Back / Moving Forward” will be on view in the OMA Groves Gallery through October 31.
