Curated by Alena Alekseeva, Aurelio del Muro Balandran’s Lands of Wandering Souls (Trazos Errantes) exhibition invites viewers to immerse themselves in the artist’s unique visual language, where spontaneity meets cultural depth, and where art serves as a bridge between the artist’s Mexican roots and his evolving artistic journey.
Del Muro Balandran’s artistic process is rooted in the principles of action art, eschewing planned compositions in favor of intuitive creation. His work juxtaposes forms and shapes drawn from a rich tapestry of influences, including pre-Hispanic and medieval art, art of the Americas, newspaper layouts, and his own subway sketches.
Aurelio del Muro Balandran is an artist and a musician who was born in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and came to New York City in 1978. For many years, Aurelio dedicated his artistic efforts to stone carving. In 2002, he began to take his art in a new direction, exploring the figure using charcoal and ink. In 2022, in partnership with painter Marta Blair, he created a large-scale mural for a residential building administered by Communilife. He belongs to the Mexican Folk Music group “Son Pecadores” and plays the Tuxtleco violin, the Jarana (small rustic guitar), and the cello.
