Brothers showcase unique, weird aesthetic in new exhibit at San Antonio museum

SAN ANTONIO — A new exhibit highlighting Aztec mythology, Catholic symbolism, pop culture and world events is now on display at the McNay Art Museum through September.exhibit specifically for the McNay in only a few short weeks while visiting San Antonio.

In preparation of the exhibit, the brothers made several visits to San Antonio to get a true sense of the city and the people. This gallery focuses on human's animalistic traits and their ties to mythological creatures. Through the artwork the brothers try to show how humans want to control nature and ends up damaging the world instead of caring for it.

Curator of Latinx Art Mia Lopez said the focus of the second gallery is consumption, extravagance and the way society has gravitated towards over-the-top celebrations. “It’s always exciting to see artists take risks and to see those risks pay off," Lopez said. “Because this is a site-specific installation, this is really the only opportunity to ever see this work displayed in this way. So if people really want to see this, they have to come to the McNay.”

Coatzilla is seen fighting Mictlanteputin, a combination of the Aztec God of Death and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Mictlanteputin represents industry and humanity's impact on the world.
