Altar Tequitqui by C. Nuñez

About the Item

18.9W x 13D x 16.7Hin CURRENTLY IN STOCK Tequitqui draws its main inspiration from the artistic manifestation of the same name that bloomed in Colonial Mexico. Tequitqui art prompted a perennial syncretism between pre-Hispanic iconography and Christian art, an esthetic collision spontaneously roused when Spanish friars entrusted their indigenous pupils with the task of building the first Christian sanctuaries. Guided by their own visual codes, the native builders delivered constructions of “inadequate” dimensions —according to the western notions of those Times— that daintily showed the symbolism and motifs of pre-Hispanic worldview. C. Nuñez explores the concept of "true purpose" for contemporary creators. He translates this idea into art pieces, objects, and projects as a whole—outcomes that express, through their individuality, different layers of a rational and emotional approach.
