A Portrait of Time: Jorge Obregón paints the volcanoes from within

UN RETRATO DEL TIEMPO. JORGE OBREGÓN

June 5, 2024 – January 5, 2025

Jorge Obregón climbed Mexico’s volcanoes to paint them from life, and the result is a series that crosses landscape with anthropology, astronomy and archive. A Portrait of Time, at the Museo Kaluz, grew from a three-year project that took him to ritual sites to capture exact sunrises, like the sun rising between the peaks of the Nevado de Toluca. This is not decorative landscape painting: it is an attempt to understand time and territory by painting. A show that breathes altitude. With ArtGuide you accompany Obregón to every summit.
