Oaxaca Wood Carving Alebrije Folk Art by Armando Jimenez

Description: Museum quality art piece from Armando and his wife, Antonio. The structure and movement of this piece is remarkable and in perfect condition. This adorable wood carving has all the curiosity and whimsey that we love in Mexican folk art. Armando Jimenez is the grandson of the master carver Manual Jimenez, who is credited with creating the whole movement of the Oaxacan wood carvings or alebrijes. Support a living legacy and an art form that has been passed down within the family Armando and Moises pieces, while adhering to the traditional painting style of their family, show incredible range of creativity in the whimsical animals depicted and animals often not naive to Oaxaca.Armando and his wife Antonio carry on this tradition of sensitively observed naturalisticcarving and colorful and restrained painting mastered by their grandfather. Steeped into traditional folktales and belief Armando and Antonio improvise themes and motifs from the region’s diverse Indian tribes. Folkways have intermingled alongside Spanish ideologies as the population overlapped while still uniquely remaining intact.Construction of Creatures from DreamsHand carved from wood and then hand painted. These are not resin copies.They are conceived as creatures from dreams, carved with machete and smaller knives from copal wood and intricately painted.
