Manuel Cruz Prudencio
Juicio de la Muerte / Wood carving Alebrije Mexican Folk Art Sculpture

About the Item

FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE! Artisan: Manuel Cruz Prudencio FOFA (Friends of Oaxacan Folk Art) Winner Woodcarving FOFA Honrando nuestra raices, explorando nuestros sueños, 2016 Made with Copal wood, woodcarving technique gouges, machete and sandpaper. Manuel learned the pyramid technique from his father who no longer carves this kind of sculpture. In their Mixe culture, the nahual (protective animal spirit) is very important. Here a nahual can be seen eating a skeleton and a brave man is eating another nahual. The base is made from guanacaste, a protected wood, of which he could only obtain a small amount. The theme made him think of the Day of the Dead, as well as a technique that his father used in the past. While Manuel wishes to find his own path and to create his style, this sculpture reflects his roots. - Dimensions: 9" x 13" x 8" in or 22 x 32 x 20 cm - Weight: 4 lb or 1.8 kg - Time of Preparation: 1 Month - San Agustin de las Juntas, Oaxaca-Mexico - Availability: Immediately

  • "Pylon Truck, " Mixed Media Sculpture
    Located in Chicago, IL
    To Chicago-based artist Patrick Fitzgerald, his miniature car sculptures are a means of traveling through time. Born from a fascination with the soap box derby cars of his youth, each vehicle is an exercise in imagining the future through the lens of the past – or vice versa. Built from found materials collected over the years, the car's futuristic form is layered with personal memories and keepsakes from the past. The most minute of details is always intentional – from the weathered finish to the fictitious sponsor to the miniaturized furnishings of the cramped interior. This sculptural car entitled "Pylon Trunk" is intended as a complement to the rest of Fitzgerald's imaginative cars, something of a service vehicle loaded with removable traffic cones and street signs. A simple truck bed...
