Summary
The 300+ works Germán Venegas' mastery of expressive technique -drawings, woodcarvings, sculptures, tempera paintings on canvas- along with 15 thematic series that meld Venegas' Buddhist practice with his intellectual interests: art history, Greek mythology, pre-Hispanic cosmogony, his personal Nahuatl ancestry and Mexican nationality. Venegas was born into a family of woodcarvers, a discipline that remains a part of his repertoire of art-making techniques. "This publication covers the artistic production that Germán Venegas has made during the last two decades. and half. The exhibition "Todo lo otro" (Everything else) covers works by artist German Venegas made from 1995 to the present. At the center of the exhibition is a giant Bodhisattva carving, which establishes a tentative division of Venegas' work between what relates to the mythological, the spiritual, and the divine (room 6 on the top floor) and what relates to the mundane, the earthly, and the human (rooms 3 and 4, on the ground floor)."
