Philadelphia's Magic Gardens is always a magical place. But new exhibition, 'In Unison', from a Mexican American artist makes it even more so.
Ceramic Sculptor George Rodriguez is celebrating his cultural heritage with an exhibition titledIt's on view in the interior gallery of Philadelphia's Magic Gardens."I'm Mexican American and I recognized all these figurines, and I thought it'd be great to somehow blend my artwork with this amazing environment," he says.
Allison Boyle is the Events and Marketing Manager for Philadelphia's Magic Gardens. She says that Rodriguez often makes large-scale ceramic works, which is something very unique to our space."One portion is a collaborative set of twelve animal heads," says Rodriguez. He says it's a series he embarked on with different Mexican and Chicane artists, and that the works reference the Chinese zodiac translated into a Mexican zodiac."And each artist decorated a piece that correlated to their birth year," he says.
The collaborating artists work in a variety of mediums. Some work in painting, jewelry, poetry, and textiles, among others.Two artists worked on this piece. A tattoo artist worked on the design of the eagle itself and an animator made it an interactive piece. Visitors can scan a QR code to see the work in action.Rodriguez also collaborated with the community on some of his work.The two figures represent guardians, both here and in the afterlife.
