Throughout the history of art, artists have collaborated to expand their virtuosic visions and broaden the boundaries of their ingenuity. Mariano Ching and Louie Cordero expounded on their artistic similarities, traversed through their creative differences, and integrated their respective finesse in this untitled painting. Ching is known for his bizarre and experimental narratives while Cordero creates impassioned pieces that are manifestations of our country’s tempestuous political landscape and a firm grasp on traditional religious beliefs. However, both artists depict narratives that are imbued in dystopia and filled with contorted figures. In this piece, Cordero and Ching transformed their canvas into a convoluted composition that connects elements from the two artists’ respective styles: the former’s free-flowing and deformed figures intertwine with the latter’s ludicrous, multicolored patterns. This produced a body of work that provides a fascinating chemistry that harmoniously links two spheres of artistry.
