Adrian Esparza

Serape, wood, nails, enamel

2017

 

Adrian Esparza uses the unraveled thread from the traditional Mexican Serape blanket to create his enthralling string paintings.

 

Adrian Esparza b. 1970 - El Paso based artist, Adrian Esparza, explores material culture by “re-instilling lost value in found objects.” Esparza first drew international appreciation through his deconstruction of the Mexican serape. Drawing inspiration from modern architecture, physical landscapes, and mid-century minimalist artists, Esparza depicts dramatic one and two-point perspectives to form striking dimensionality and volume. The artist diffuses color and expands space by weaving sarape thread around nails to form a grid. Geometric structures present in his drawings and sculptures re-imagine his own Mexican-American cultural heritage.
