Brinca Charcos

Brinca Charcos is a binational project by LxsDos which brings together paintings inspired by popular graphic art and ceramic sculptures made in the tradition of polychrome clay.

Drawing on the dynamics of border life and the region’s culture, the new works explore geographical and symbolic divisions, such as day and night or life and death. Their images “jump” across these boundaries, building a narrative about the ways everyday life challenges the separations imposed by the border.

The project connects human activity with ongoing processes of healing and the metaphor of the “open wound,” offering an approach to the experiences that connect both sides of the territory.

Cristian Pardo of Lxs Dos previews the project.
