    Description

    CARAPAN, MEXICAN FOLK ART GALLERY SINCE 1950.
    ABOUT THIS PAPER MACHE ALEBRIJE
    This one of a kind
    alebrije
    was crafted with the original
    paper mache
    technique. It's fierce and intriguing expression is awesome, the wings are beautifully painted in turquoise tone & its arrow shaped tail is plenty of grace and movement. The alebrije is signed at the bottom by the artist, los Negrete Workshop. Alebrijes are one of the most important Mexican traditions since the first third of the XXth century, when Mr.
    Pedro Linares
    invented or created them using the
    paper mache
    technique, which is the very same used to make this outstanding museum quality collectors item.
    Alebrijes meaning
    has an
    oneiric and surreal origin
    , since the word is not in the dictionary but was heard by Pedro Linares during an illness in which he saw these fantastic figures called Alebrijes by the first time.
