Roberto Benavidez looks to famous paintings and literature for source material for his metallic piñatas, such as Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights (previously). The Los Angeles-based artist’s most recent series Illuminated Piñata pulls characters from the Luttrell Psalter (c. 1325-1335), a famous medieval manuscript. The book contains illustrations of fantastical hybrid creatures, which Benavidez further explores by creating three-dimensional sculptures using traditional piñata motifs. Works from his Bosch series will be on view at the Riverside Art Museum in Riverside, CA in the group exhibition BEAST, opening February 2, 2019. More
It takes no small amount of inquiry, from no few angles, to truly understand a form of art. This goes even more so for forms of art with which most of us in the 21st century have little direct experience.

The zodiac sign of CANCER is associated with the month of June and it is represented by a crab or lobster-like scorpion. In most of the standard iconographic compositions, the crab is viewed from above with its legs splayed on either side. It can vary in size from a small insect-like creature to a large oval shaped shell. Most of the times it is represented against a plain background, yet there are cases when it is against a landscape, at time with an associated river. In the modern horoscope, the zodiac sign of CANCER covers the period from about June 21 – July 22. Link to the "Zodiac sign of CANCER" set. Link to the "Zodiac signs" collection.
