About the Item
"Espíritu" is part of a series of sculptures that explores the ideas that fueled Luis Barragán architecture.
In 1976, during an interview with Elena Poniatowska, Barragán stated that his masterplan for El Pedregal would've only been possible due to the openness of Mexican culture, in terms of architecture, back in the 1970s: "considero a México el espíritu más contemporáneo del mundo" ("I consider Mexico the most contemporary spirit in the world"), he said.
The phrase acquires another dimension if we consider Barragán's conservative upbringing and his obsession with intimacy in architecture.
The sculpture abstracts Barragán's words in the style of his collaborations with Mathias Goeritz (namely the windows at the Capuchinas Sacramentarias Chapel in Tlalpan), and uses papier-maché, channeling the close relationship between Barragán and Chucho Reyes, who encouraged him to experiment with color through their passion for folk art.

Aroosh and Nitush Mahipal, the creative minds behind Nitush-Aroosh, were born and raised in New Delhi, India, amidst a vibrant cultural and artistic milieu. Their parents instilled in them a love of beauty and creativity from a young age, and they were fortunate to travel extensively to different parts of the world, where they were exposed to diverse forms of art, design, and architecture. From childhood, Aroosh and Nitush were captivated by the stainless steel available at their family’s factory, spending countless hours creating their toys and honing their skills. This fascination laid the foundation for their future design and art endeavors, eventually leading to the birth of Nitush-Aroosh.
The Mahipal brothers use innovative techniques to create a crumbled effect on stainless steel, resulting in sculptural pieces that appear to be made of a different material altogether. Their sculptural objects, including furniture, lights, sculptures, and wall installations, are carefully crafted to invite the viewers to embark on self-discovery and introspection.
