Mauro Murillo - Sept 8-30 |
Día de Muertos Festival applications now open! |
Join us for Carabinas y Guitarras, a solo exhibition by Mauro Murillo.
Opening reception: Friday, September 8th, 6 - 9 PM. Show runs from September 8th - 30th. On view Monday - Friday, 2 - 8 PM at MECA at East End, 333 S. Jensen Dr. Houston, TX 77020. Carabinas y Guitarras is an exhibition featuring the objects, rifles and guitars, as symbols of two significant historical eras in Mexico: the Revolution and the Golden Age of Cinema. Inspired by film director Emilio ‘El Indio’ Fernandez, who, after participating in the Mexican Revolution at the age of ten, saw cinema as an artistic medium to both stimulate critical thinking and combat corruption within politics. I echo this concept, emphasizing the potency of art as a tool for education, thought-provocation, entertainment, and celebration. Artist Bio Murillo was born in Coahuila, Mexico and moved to San Antonio, TX in 1995. After graduating in early 2020 with an Associates Degree in Communication Design at San Antonio College, he decided to pursue his true passion in the fine arts. He started his career by painting in acrylics on large canvases, and had his first solo show, Personajes Mexicanos, in 2021 at Bear & Ink Gallery at the Upstairs Studios at Blue Star in San Antonio, TX. |
