LEOPOLDO CUSPINERA MADRIGAL SURFACING
 

"For more than twenty-five years Leopoldo Cuspinera Madrigal has been focused on the dynamic relationship between landscape and memory. His works are representations of the past, present, and future spirit of place, in a single moment. As humans continue to plunge into the future, the land is depicted as an immense keeper, as a memorial even, and radiates an ethereal quality. This is in part the result of mixing recycled paper and paper pulp with resins and pigments. Parts of the process are based on the Mexican Papel Amate fabrication, but also on collage, papier-mâché, and paper incisions. Oils, chalk, charcoal, gold, silver, and bronze are used to enhance what emerges from the dialog between Cuspinera and the material."
