THE DOG
Adrian Xuana Luis
Adrián began carving wood at the age of 14. His first pieces were armadillos, and figures, the most prominent being Christopher Columbus and his ship.
His recurring figure, the death-dog, narrates the path of the dead to the underworld. A master carver with a truly unique style, Adrián’s work is included in private and public collections. His masks have become highly valued over the last 40 years.
For many years he has won the mask contest in San Martín. Visual artists and masters of popular art collaborate with Galería La Mano Mágica in Oaxaca, with the idea of bringing together lovers of popular art and contemporary art in one place.
