Steve Turner is pleased to participate at the 2024 edition of Material Art Fair, Mexico with a solo booth by Mexico City-based Omar Mendoza. The artist will present recent paintings that utilize his homemade pigments and handmade textured cotton supports. His processes are highly labor-intensive and personal as he painstakingly extracts pigments from plants, flowers and barks found in his parents’ home state of Puebla. The resulting works have a mystical quality, one that blends pre-hispanic imagery and processes with the artist’s own ideas, dreams, interests and experiences. They are embedded with history but also encompass contemporary ideas and objectives.

Omar Mendoza (born 1993, Mexico City) earned a BA at UNAM, Mexico City (2016) and a diploma from Academy of San Carlos, Mexico City (2018). He had his debut solo exhibition outside Mexico at Steve Turner, Los Angeles (January 2024) and prior to that presented a solo exhibition at the Museum of Anthropology of Xalapa, Veracruz (2023).
