A non-traditional gallery showcases the emerging artist’s exploration of his Mexican ancestry, and his queerness.

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, October 18, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ‘Sangre Sagrade’ is a solo show by Lupe Inès Cariño, opening October 26, 2023, at Gallery Particulier.
Cariño’s work celebrates humanity and its savage nature while exploring his Mexican roots. He also creates new images of gender and body expression.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, Lupe Inès Cariño cut his artistic teeth at the Student Arts League and in the Brooklyn art scene. Having never lived in Mexico, and speaking little Spanish, he felt compelled to
discover what his Mexican ancestry meant to him. Four years ago, he followed his roots to a small town
in Puebla, Mexico where he studied indigenous Barro Bruñido techniques with master ceramist Simon
Martinez Lopez. And learned Spanish.

Mexican imagery and culture play a big influence on his work. He is concerned with life cycles and
sources. That is expressed through imagery of blood and skulls, and the exploration of gender in the body and mind. The sacredness of ancestors and life cycles is brought into parallel with the sacredness of transness. In our country and in our city, trans people are politically, culturally, and physically under
attack. This show is a respite. Carino brings life and genders’ joys and pains into the gallery, which
intends to center and celebrate trans life and art. The title Sangre Sagrade parallels the use of LatinE
(rather than LatinX) for gender neutrality. This is particularly significant for a language that genders every noun and corresponding adjective; the title would be expected to be spelled Sangre Sagrada, feminine.

Arabella von Arx, director of Gallery Particulier, says: “Lupe Inès Cariño’s focus on his ancestral
traditions, and on the exploration of gender, is deeply relevant to our communities. Additionally, he has
strong skills, craft,and talent. This is the kind of art we bring to people through intimate connections. That defines our gallery.”
