    2 Hermano:

    2 Hermano is a Sol Collective artist and a featured artists for Wide Open Walls. His approach to image-making negotiates a balance between the spiritual and physical worlds. Drawing inspiration from pre-Hispanic concepts and other indigenous and spiritual traditions of his northern Mexican lineage, 2 Hermano creates with strokes that leave traces of primitive memory which bridge interchangeably, yesterday with today, joining the recent with the past, the cosmogenic with the idealistic. His creations are a labyrinth of shapes and colors that reflect our unity with the cosmos. The imagery awakens dormant memories and numb feelings through its subliminal context. 2 Hermano’s art integrates many styles and synthesizes them into an artistic expression that comes from the deepest sentiments of the American continent.
