Guadalupe Maravilla Appeals to the Children of War in a New Series of Retablos
Guadalupe Maravilla Appeals to the Children of War in a New Series of Retablos
Colossal April 4, 2024

Dating back to the late 18th century, retablos are small devotional paintings created to thank God or a saint for their protection during a particularly trying or dangerous event. In his show, Si no sanas hoy, sanarás mañana, Guadalupe Maravilla conjures this tradition as he nests narrative works inside spiny mixed-media sculptures that address the indelible impact of childhood trauma.

Entitled "Les voix des fleuves, Crossing the water", the 17th edition of the Lyon Biennale invites artists to interrogate and investigate the subject of the waxing and waning relationships of human beings with one another and with their environment.
