Folklore, Myth and the Occult: Alejandro García Contreras

Today we speak to Alejandro García Contreras live from NADA art fair in New York. Born in Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico, Alejandro captures the essence of legends, blending them with biblical motifs and contemporary pop culture icons like Star Wars. Through his art, he explores the delicate tensions that shape our everyday lives, inviting us to look deeper into the myths that continue to captivate and haunt us. He has mounted solo exhibitions in Ecuador; Guadalajara; iami, FL; New York, NY; among others, and is a two-time recipient of the FONCA / Young Creators Scholarship, and his work was the winning acquisition of the 2006 Artfest WTC.
