Exiting NEWS: Tlaloc’s Tribe has been my best selling print for 20+ years, yet few people know that it was originally created as a diptych. My publisher Joan Cawley, opted to only publish the left side of the duo at the time. Well, we now have available the right side of this popular print. It matches the left side closely, and includes the whole story of this piece. Look for it under “Tlaloc’s Tribe II” ! A photo of the two together is shown here for reference.
Tlaloc's Tribe is a vibrant representation of the rich heritage and spiritual journey of the Rain Gods tribe, intricately depicted through the medium of pastel on hand-made bark paper. This meticulously crafted paper, formed from the inner bark of fig and mulberry trees, showcases the natural beauty of earth-toned colors, including chocolate swirl, buckskin, and cinnamon-vanilla.
The artwork unfolds the narrative of the tribe dedicated to Tlaloc, the Rain God, illuminating their connection to water and the cycles of nature. Symbols of thunder are woven throughout the composition, reflecting the spiritual significance of storms and rain in their culture. Central to the piece is the "Sipapu," represented as a spiral motif. This symbol embodies the tribe’s journey from the other world, a pathway that leads to their current home.
Through color, texture, and symbolism, Tlaloc's Tribe invites viewers to understand the tribe's history and its respect for ancestral traditions, manifesting their beliefs and experiences in a harmonious visual narrative.
This is for one new unframed quality fine art print, (originally published by Joan Cawley Gallery). The prints are on a thick (120 pound or higher) stock of paper. The newly published version has an added ornament between the names.
Tlaloc’s Tribe is also available on linen towels, and tapestry throw blankets.
