Folk Art is a family affair for La Familia Lorenzo, retablo makers known worldwide for their colorful and often astonishing small paintings on board. Made up of Lucas, Aureliana, Fernando and more, the Lorenzo family of artists is widely loved in Guerrero, Mexico. Members of Nahuatl, the largest indigenous language group, their individual worlds of beloved Mexican imagery often snap back at you with wit and irreverence. We believe they are best viewed in a large grid, like the one we created for display. Lucas Lorenzo began painting in the mid-1900s, when he experimented on Masonite board instead of the traditional amate bark long used by generations before him. Figures of saints, devils, angels, animals, and religious scenes populated his paintings, and they are subjects influencing his son and grandson, who add their own zest for modern pop culture. Find playful jaguar pole dancers and Frida Kahlo-esque angels, along with la Virgin de Guadalupe and a Mexican luchador wrestler. These lyrical and light Retablos have long delighted Mexicans, who exchange them as small gifts for special occasions, Christmas, and especially the Day of the Dead.
