Collidoscope: de la Torre Brothers Retro-Perspective | Opening Day

Collidoscope: de la Torre Brother Retro-Perspective, Featured Event

WAM is thrilled to host this national touring exhibition of artworks by brothers Einar and Jamex de la Torre. “Collidoscope: de la Torre Brothers Retro-Perspective” features intricate blown-glass and mixed-media pieces inspired by Mexican folk art, pop culture, religious imagery, consumer culture, and mythology. Working with glass, resin, lenticular prints, and what they call “carefully chosen” objects, the brothers create works rich in imagery and layered with wordplay and poetic riddles.
