WAM is thrilled by the opportunity to host this nationally touring exhibition by some of the most impressive and innovative glass artists working today: brothers Einar and Jamex de la Torre. Collidoscope: de la Torre Brothers Retro-Perspective will display intricate blown glass and mixed media pieces. The artists impressively intertwine rich imagery and thought-provoking motifs with glass, resin, light, and color to create meaningful pieces. This exhibition is organized by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Latino and The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture of Riverside Art Museum.

These sculptures are so complex, you simply must see them in person to believe them! Rich in imagery, and infused with provocative, humorous elements exploring art, history, and material culture, viewers will be captivated by each object. Working with glass, resin, lenticular prints, and carefully chosen objects, the brothers create work inspired by Mexican folk art, popular culture, religious imagery, consumer culture, and mythology. Many elements of the exhibition, including the title and curatorial framework, echo the creative process of the artists, serving as an allegory of their intellectual pursuits, their technical use of materials and media, and their use of wordplay and poetic riddles. Mark your calendar to be sure to check out this incredible show!
