La Batalla Fantástica / Fantastic Battle
About the Painting
Garr was invited to enter a piece in an exhibition* of paintings that would travel from Mexico City, to Italy, and finally to Columbia. The theme of the show was “Alebrijes”. These are unique, brightly-coloured Mexican folk art sculptures of fanciful beasts. They are normally made from wood or papier-mâché.
Garr didn't just want to portray one of these carvings in a painting. So... he decided on a depiction of three alebrijes animals that have come to life, and are engaged in an epic battle.
