Twenty-three artists showed their work in the VII edition of Mujeres Artistas de Guanajuato that opened tonight in the Dieguino Museum next to Teatro Juarez. At the bottom, Loreta, the organizer, happy afterward. Talina RodrÃguez created the image of Coatlicue, the mother of the Aztec gods, the photo not as sharp as I would like it, better to see it for yourself. To see pre-Hispanic sculptures of Coatlicue, google "Coatlicue images."
The one sculpture and the 22 paintings all featured women. I always like going into this museum that blends convent ruins with a modern approach to natural light.
My main Mexican blog is MEXIGUANA www.rochellecashdan.blogspot.com but here I post other tidbits, especially photos of art exhibits in Guanajuato, along with my translation of a famed Guanajuato legend. To read my online stories and poems, google rochelle cashdan.

Guanajuato Artists: Kate Delos at 81 Positos through February
Kate's double exhibit, Obras en dos partes, is just what the title says. The rear galleries on the ground floor show Delos's work based on nude figures, the front gallery --my pick--shows more recent work suggested in part by Guanajuato colors and shapes, with the artist working her magic on both parts. An expo-venta.
