The Magic of the Cities.
Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

The Portal Keeper / El Guardian del Portal
The Portal Keeper / El Guardian del Portal by Israel Alcala
Alebrijes (Spanish
pronunciation: [aleˈβɾixes]) are brightly colored Mexican folk art sculptures
of fantastical creatures. The first alebrijes, along with use of the term,
originated with Pedro Linares. After dreaming the creatures
while sick in the 1930s, he began to create what he saw in cardboard and papier
mache. His work caught the attention of a gallery owner in Cuernavaca and
later, the artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo.
Linares was originally from México City (DF), he was born June 29, 1906 in
México City and never moved out of México City, he died January 25, 1992. Then
in the 1980s, British Filmmaker, Judith Bronowski, arranged an itinerant
demonstration workshop in U.S.A. participating Pedro Linares, Manuel Jiménez and a textil artisan
Maria Sabina from Oaxaca. Although the Oaxaca valley area already had a history
of carving animal and other types of figures from wood, it was at this time,
when Bronowski's workshop took place when artisans from Oaxaca knew the
alebrijes paper mache sculptures. [Wiki]
