Visual Art Currently Hanging: The De La Torre Brothers
Posted by Jen Graves on Wed, May 19, 2010 at 10:35 AM
Einar and Jamex De La Torre are showing a whole lot of their signature glass sculptures at William Traver Gallery this month in a show called Pimp My Glass: It's big, ambitious, and very much worth seeing, as their shows pretty much always are.
But it also contains some elements I haven't seen before in their work: a wall installation incorporating glass with video, the direct mockery of a Pilchuck Glass School "maiden," and a many-layered lenticular adaptation of a Renaissance painting featuring the visages of none other than Jesus Christ, Zapata, Vicente Fox, Christina Aguilera, Gloria Estefan, and Ricky Martin.
