Fruits of Our Labor
Aug. 12-Nov. 4, 2021
Award-winning international artist Justin Favela brings his trademark papel picado technique to the Mayor's Gallery at the Historic Fifth Street School to kick off Hispanic Heritage Month and the Las Vegas Book Festival. Inspired by Mexican still life fruit of the 19th century, and paying homage to "Sesame Street Fruit" and to the Sandra Cisneros vignette “The Monkey Garden” from her award-winning book, “The House on Mango Street,” Justin Favela created pinata-style depictions of fruit objects in both two and three dimensional forms.
