Contemporary Mexican Prints pop-up exhibition, at the El Paso Museum of Art during Chalk the Block 2017.
We collected a lot of great Mexican prints while creating the Desert Triangle Print Carpeta, and wanted to show those too.
Over 800 people saw our Contemporary Mexican Print pop-up show the first evening at the El Paso Museum of Art (Oct 7), when Chalk the Block opened with a jazz band -- Gabriel Balderas Quartet -- on the first floor of the museum.
The print by Carlos Flores Rom,
and the small one above it, by Oscar Navarro Serrano,
greet visitors at the very entrance of the El Paso Museum of Art
