Open to all ages

Celebrate the last day of the Biennial with Eamon Ore-Giron! Join the artist in the Lobby to create your own creature collage inspired by Ore-Giron’s mythological paintings featured in the 2024 Biennial. Combine your favorite creatures’ features to bring a brand new being into the world, and stop by the Tattoo Studio to get your own Ore-Giron temporary tatt!

Ore-Giron’s colorful series of paintings reimagine deities from ancient Peruvian and Mexican cultures. One work features the mythological rainbow, depicted by Ore-Giron as a double-headed serpent, made by the creation god Viracocha. Next to this painting is the artist’s take on an Amaru, a mythological dragon-like creature that is depicted in a variety of forms. Sometimes it has the head of a puma or llama along with condor wings, a snake’s body, a fish’s tail, and scales resembling those of a crocodile or lizard. Ore-Giron renders these supernatural beings in abstract forms, with precise lines, and vibrant colors to explore the living ancestral past in ways that are open, informal, and personal.
