Details

Una rana arborícola realista cobra vida en madera de copal tallada y pintada a mano. Pablo and Lucy Mendez continuar con lo tradicional alebrije arte popular que aprendieron de sus propios padres. Esta encantadora criatura aporta un toque de fantasía a cualquier entorno.

La tradición del alebrije de Oaxaca deriva del arte de Pedro Linares (1906-1992), un artista de papel maché de la Ciudad de México. Mientras estaba en coma durante una enfermedad grave, se encontró en un bosque de ensueño con criaturas fantasiosas hechas con partes del cuerpo de diferentes animales. Gritaron: "Alebrije", ¡Alebrije!" Cuando despertó, Linares elaboró ??las figuras en papel maché y su influencia llegó hasta Oaxaca, donde están talladas en madera de copal.

Debido a que cada escultura es una obra de arte popular creada individualmente, las formas las dicta la rama de madera y pueden variar ligeramente.

This was absolutely beautiful. I collect these animals and I love this one because I also collect frog figurines. The colors and shape are great! I highly recommend these fun and well crafted animals!
