Jose Angel Pahuamba Sculptures

Mexican, b. 1978
Loyal to his origins, Pahuamba creates pieces composed of analysis and social criticism of his native village. With humor, irony, and sarcasm, he tells us stories of everyday life in Cherán, Michoacán. Masks are an element often shown in his artwork, with playfulness and even irony to express strength and traditions that enhance their cultural identity as an indigenous village. Pahuamaba has a degree in Visual Arts. He has worked with recognized artists like Ismael Guardado, Pedro Ascencio, Nunik Sauret and Beatriz Gaminde, and others. His artworks has been exhibited individually in galleries in CDMX, Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Chile, New York and Michoacán. Author of the book "Between colors, lines, and monkeys". Didactic guide of plastic arts for children. And author of the murals Lucha entre aztecas y purepechas (Fundación FORNESA, Morelia, Michoacán), La Fiesta del Maíz (Baltimore Maryland, USA) and Principio y fin (Valparaíso, Chile). He has been awarded the Acquisition Award of the State Watercolor Salon in 2005 and 2011; Acquisition Prize in the “Efraín Vargas” State Painting and Stamp Contest in 2009; Fellow of the State Co-investment Program. In 2011 he received an honorable mention at the “Alfredo Zalce” National Biennial.

"Beach-Combed Mochaware, " Mixed Media Sculpture

By Michael Thompson

Located in Chicago, IL

Based in Chicago, IL, contemporary artist Michael Thompson creates unique kites, collages and mixed media works assembled from material fragments of past and present collected in his travels. In his ongoing series of memory jugs, Thompson adorns stoneware vessels with a kaleidoscope of ceramic shards, found objects, and pocket-sized trinkets he collected over the course of his life. Also known as forget-me-not jugs or spirit jars, memory jugs are African American folk art objects that honor a loved one who has recently passed. Small tokens and mementos of the deceased are gathered and affixed to the exterior of a jug or vase, an abundance of memories that celebrates a life lived to the fullest. Michael Thompson applies this tradition to his own practice, creating tactile assemblages of this and that. Formed in the manner of collage, each jug honors the lost memories of generations past and his own memories of personally discovering each item. With varied sources for materials including Kyoto, Turkey, and Mexico, a great number of the found shards are 18th and 19th century ceramics...
