About This Event
Artist Vince Campos
Telling the Story of the Santos: From Rolling Hills to Your Neighborhood Cholos
Santero Vince Campos. in conversation with E. Boyd Curator and Museum Director Curator Jana Gottshalk. They will discuss navigating the art world, Vince's ability to combine traditional techniques and contemporary ideas, and supporting the future generations of artists.
Vincent Campos of El Rito, New Mexico has been practicing the tradition of retablo making for over twenty eight years. While Vincent keeps to traditional methods of retablo production, his depictions of Santos do not. He creates Images in a fun and whimsical way, placing them modern New Mexican settings to better relate traditional devotions. His depictions and use of muted natural pigments found in Northern New Mexico have grown in popularity among surrounding communities. Through these modernized retablos, Vincent believes it has revitalized an interest in the Spanish Colonial Arts for a new generation of viewers. This new found interest helps keep this native to New Mexico art form alive.
Thursday, August 20th 4:15 PM - 5:30 PM.
