Tortilla Press Printing
Join Los Supersonicos, Carlos Frésquez and Franque Zamora in an alternative way to create a print from a kitchen appliance! Tortilla press printmaking is a technique that uses a tortilla press to create prints from a painted foam plate or foam sheet.
This is a great class for Parents/Guardians to take with their kids, as well as a fun way to learn a long time-honored art technique. Perfect for a quick after school bonding!
About Carlos Fresquez and Francisco Zamora:
You will find Carlos’ and Frank’s artwork in the current exhibition, Nepantla. Together, they form the two person art collective, Los Supersonicos.
Los Supersonicos
The works of Los Supersonicos began in 1998 as the result of a sought and very natural collaboration between, Carlos Fresquez in the U.S. and Francisco Zamora living (at one time) in Mexico. Our early work was created in separate countries. Our approach is unique as we each paint original contributions to our shared project. We create and then recreate these works to look at the multilayered underpinnings of Chicano cultural identity. This introspection has led to work that we both mock and pay homage to traditional icons.
Our tag team paintings display the melding of Mexican, U.S. and global culture in the 21st century. We explore the past indigenous histories of the Americas combined with the complexities of being Chicano. Now that we are in over two decades into the new millennium, we are creating works in the ancient future.
