Javier Astorga sculpture Mictlantecuhtli

Description: Contemporary sculptor Javier Astorga melds European and Mexican artistic traditions for inspiration in his metal figurative sculpture. Recently Astorga has made a series of artworks relating to the ancient Huastec culture of eastern Mexico. This series is called "La Huasteca desnudo del tiempo (The Huastecs Removed from Time)". The subject of this sculpture is Mictlantecuhtli , the Aztec god of death. (The Aztecs conquered the Huastecs.) Astorga follows tradition in depicting Mictlantecuhtli, ruler of the underworld, with skeletal materials--in this case welded steel and cow skull plus other materials. Click to view detail. This mythic, magical sculpture is suitable for an interior space.
