Note:
With the high cost of shipping many of our customers choose to ship by USPS. For small and light shipments this is usually less expensive, but please be aware that their estimates are often wrong and their service can be very slow (sixteen days for Priority Mail from Philadelphia to New York City recently). The service is not always as economical as it may appear, particularly on larger or more valuable shipments. USPS estimates only include insurance up to $100 for its domestic shipments. If you ask for full insurance we will recalculate the shipping cost and send you an invoice for any difference in cost. For overseas shipments USPS will not insure for over $650. On request we can get estimates for overseas shipping from DHL.

Andes/Amazon: Two Worlds in Peruvian Folk Art

March 9, 2017 to September 30, 2017

Retablos from Ayacucho and Shipibo/Conibo Textiles from the Amazon Basin

Show dates: March 9, 2017 through September 30, 2017

Opening reception: Second Thursday, March 9, 6 to 9pm.

Gallery Hours: Wednesday through Saturday, 12 to 6pm.

 

Andes/Amazon:  Two Worlds in Peruvian Folk Art looks at two distinct contemporary folk arts in two regions of Peru:  the portable retablo shrines, originally from highland Ayacucho and the patterned textiles and ceramics of the Shipibo/Conibo peoples of the Amazon basin.   Both are arts in transition.   From deep traditional roots they are adapting to new materials and influences, and being both changed and enriched in the process.

     The traditional Peruvian retablo is a portable shrine or nicho that holds figures sculpted of pasta (a mixture of plaster and potato) or maguey cactus wood.   The making of retablos is a folk art whose roots go back to the sixteenth century in the Andes (and even to the Greeks and Romans before that).  While the art’s origins are religious, the contemporary Peruvian retablos exhibited at Indigo Arts range from the sacred to the profane.  Claudio Jimenez Quispé is the acknowledged master of the Peruvian retablo.  He and his family are heirs to a multi-generation artistic tradition in the highland region of Ayacucho.  Most of the family moved to Lima during the brutal civil war of the 1980’s and early 1990’s, which pitted a violent revolutionary group, the Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path) against equally ruthless government forces.  The peasants caught in the middle suffered the deaths or disappearances of some 70,000 people in this period.  The effect on the retablo art form was profound.  New narratives of social strife and civil war entered the artists’ repertoire.  Many contemporary retablos reflect an exposure to the urban world of Lima and beyond, not to mention a response to a world-wide market for folk art.  Some of the recent work shows strong influences of Mexican folk art, including scenes of death and the underworld that celebrate the Dias de los Muertos (Days of the Dead) holidays.

     The Shipibo-Conibo are an indigenous people (currently numbering only about 20,000) who live along the Ucayali river in the Amazon basin east of the Andes.  Though an increasing portion of the Shipibo population have been urbanized in settlements such as Pucallpa, their traditions remain strong, as expressed in their shamanistic religion and in their visionary arts – notably in the patterns that the Shipibo women paint on their pottery, clothing, textiles and their bodies.  The ethnologist Angelika Gebhart-Sayer terms their art “visual music”.

     The Shipibo are known for labyrinthine geometric designs that reflect their culture and their cosmology.  The main elements of the designs are the square, the rhombus, the octagon and the cross, which  “represents the southern Cross constellation which dominates the night sky and divides the cosmos into four quadrants…”*  Other symbols featured in the designs are the Cosmic Serpent, the Anaconda and various plant forms, notably the caapi vine used in the preparation of the sacramental drug Ayahuasca.  There is  an intriguing tie between the visual and aural in Shipibo art:  “ the Shipibo can listen to a song or chant by looking at the designs, and inversely paint a pattern by listening to a song…”*
    
     The designs are traditionally drawn with natural huito berry pigments on hand-woven cotton fabrics that are worn as wrap-around skirts.  The fabric is either natural or dyed with a red-brown dye made from mahogany bark.  Today most of the fabric is machine-woven, purchased from traders, and increasingly the hand-drawn designs are supplemented with patterns embroidered with bright-colored commercial yarns.  The results can be stunning.  The truly psychedelic color combinations are consistent with ayahuasca visions.  More often than not the designs are asymmetrical within a border or frame – like a landscape viewed through an airplane window:  “Although in our cultural paradigm we perceive that the geometric patterns are bound within the border of the textile or ceramic vessel, to the Shipibo the patterns extend far beyond these borders and permeate the entire world.”*

Covid 19 Pandemic in Peru -  Retablo
SKU: PRTB-171-3

Claudio Jimenez Quispé (Peru).  July, 2020.
Painted plaster sculpture in painted wood box
(13 1/2" h. x 8" w. x 3" d.)

Note:  Due to their fragility we can no longer ship these retablos out of the U.S. except by special arrangement.  Custom art-handler packing and shipping required.  Please inquire for estimate.

Claudio posted this commentary in July, 2020:

The pandemic in Peru - an interpretation through the Retablo.

Few weeks ago, a member of my family passed away from COVID-19. We had to face a difficult situation in an unprecedented context where hospitals collapsed, we could not go out without being stopped by the police and medicine was not enought for all. It was a difficult situation but it allowed us to better understand the great magnitude of the virus in the world and its consequences in the cities, and communities of Peru.

In the 1980s and 1990s, many people left their communities in the Andes to migrate to cities in search of better opportunities for their families, such as higher incomes, better education and health for their children. Given the collapse of the public health system and the slowdown in the economy, many people have decided to return to their cities and communities in order to isolate themselves from the virus in the Andes without knowing in some cases that they are carriers of the virus.

The slowdown in the economy, strict quarantine for more than 90 days, little government support and the need to work to support the family means that many people have to work informally and hidden from the authorities.

Although history has taught me that many times at the end of the problems or crises in my country, we all stay together for brief moments and forget about those who gave their lives for us. I hope that at the end of the pandemic, all Peruvians can understand the importance of being able to work together, leave individualism in the past and that history does not repeat itself. It is a dream which I hope to see someday.
