Wide Web, Japanese anime, and the overwhelming
commercialization of our society, Einar and Jamex de
la Torre blend traditional Mexican Folk Art imagery with
tongue-in-cheek cultural commentary. Using unconventional
glass working techniques, the brothers force a reassessment
of a material often considered purely decorative.
Mexican-born artists Einar and Jamex de la Torre are
brothers and artistic collaborators, who moved to the
United States from Guadalajara, Jalisco in the early
1970's. Currently, the brothers live and work on both sides
of the San Diego-Baja California border, enjoying a
bi-national life style that very much informs their art. Einar
and Jamex de la Torre have worked, taught and exhibited
both nationally, as well as internationally. Their distinctive
three-dimensional work can be found in galleries, museum
collections, and in various public art installations.
