Zapotec Fish 12-inch Hand Carved and Painted Alebrije Fish Sculpture

Manuel Cruz

(12)

A rotund fish with big eyes swims sinuously in cool rivers. Colorful motifs from Zapotec art and ancient temples cover the body and fins. By Manuel Cruz, this is a beautiful example of Mexico's alebrije art. The image is carved by hand of copal wood in the style of Oaxaca and meticulously painted by hand with tiny brushes. The finer details are created using a maguey thorn instead of a brush.

The alebrije tradition originated with Mexico City artisan Pedro Linares (1906-1992). When he was 30, he became ill and fell into a coma. While he was unconscious, he dreamed he was caught between the land of the living and the dead, a place populated with creatures whose body parts belonged to different animals. The beings repeatedly cried, "Alebrije!" When he was well, Linares recreated these fanciful figures in papier mache. His work became famous and inspired artisans in the state of Oaxaca, who began crafting alebrijes of wood.

The wood branch dictates the final form, thus size and shapes can vary slightly. Thus, each alebrije is an authentic work of Mexican folk art.

Two Face Kanaga Dragon Hand Carved Wood Sculpture

Salihu Ibrahim

(132)

Facing in both directions, a fierce dragon derives from Dogon religious customs. Salihu Ibrahim replicates a Kanaga mask. Mali's Dogon custom dictates that only the village blacksmith can craft the mask, inside a secret cave. It is fashioned after a wild forest hog, and whoever wears the Kanaga mask during the Dogon's sacred ceremonies is believed to become the Creator, symbolically. Today these dances are performed for the public, yet there are Dogon people who fear, respect and depend upon the power of the mask, and thus are very respectful of the Kanaga.

Perky Blue Parrot Handmade Blue Parrot Alebrije Sculpture from Mexico

Pablo and Lucy Mendez

(81)

A perky blue parrot alights on a tree branch. With wings spread, it flaunts flirty feathers in bright primary colours. Pablo and Lucy Mendez carry on the traditional alebrije folk art they learned from their own parents to craft the beautiful bird.

Oaxaca's alebrije tradition derives from the art of Pedro Linares (1906-1992), a Mexico City papier mache artist. While in a coma during a serious illness, he found himself in a dream forest with fanciful creatures made with body parts from different animals. They cried, "Alebrije! Alebrije!" When he awakened, Linares crafted the figures in papier mache and his influence reached to Oaxaca, where they are carved from copal wood.

Because each sculpture is an individually created work of folk art, shapes are dictated by the wood branch and may vary slightly. The feathers and tree trunk are disassembled to protect them during shipping.

This is so lovely! Words cannot describe the details. The carving is amazing. The little elephant inside is like a special gift. The artist is incredibly talented. Also, even though I looked at the dimensions, I did not realize the great height of this piece. Wonderful!
