Please join us for an evening with Einar and Jamex de la Torre. They will discuss their new mural, Hedonic Treadmill, recently created for Murals of La Jolla. In addition, they will share recent and future projects, as well as their process and philosophy. A reception with the artists will follow their lecture.
Collaborating since the 1990s, brothers Einar and Jamex de la Torre have developed a maximalist signature style based on a wide-ranging art practice using elements of mixed media, sculpture, installation, and lenticular printing. Einar and Jamex were born in 1963 and 1960, respectively in Guadalajara, Mexico moving to southern California in 1972. Inspired by the Baroque aesthetic, their work draws from traditional Mexican folk art, pop culture, religious imagery, and iconography to create a complex commentary on contradicting bicultural identities, contemporary class issues, and the art world itself. They live and work on both sides of the border, splitting their time between The Guadalupe Valley in Baja, California, Mexico, and San Diego, California.
Mural Members and Makers attend FREE and will receive an email to RSVP for the lecture.
The talk will be in person at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library. There are no physical tickets for this event. Your name will be on an attendee list at the front door. Doors open at 5 p.m. Seating is first-come; first-served. This event will be presented in compliance with State of California and County of San Diego health regulations as applicable at the time of the talk.
