About the Artist and Xolotl: Oscar Becerra-Mora is one Mexico’s great contemporary artists. He has dedicated more than 10 years to the art of cartonería: vibrantly painted papier-mâché sculptures incorporating modeled cardboard. Xólotl: Dios Perro showcases Mr.Becerra‘s mastery of cartonería, and is his take on a mythological creature from the Aztec culture. The god Xólotl (pronounced Sho-lotel) is the brother of Quetzalcóatl (the feathered serpent-god of fire), and was charged with guarding the sun as it passed through the underworld. It is said that he helped Quetzalcóatl in the creation of humankind. One of his defining qualities is his ability to transform into other figures, animals or objects. Xólotl: Dios Perro is the artist’s expression of the myth and a fantastic tool to stimulate the imagination. Xólotl: Dios Perro is the first is the first monumental alebrije that has ever been exhibited in the United States.
