The de la Torre Brothers' art exhibit Upward Mobility at the McNay Art Museum is a breathtaking perspective that combines sensational blown glass, electrifying lenticular montage, stupendously designed wallpaper, the precocious grouping of a lavish dining table, as well as brilliant use of found objects. The focus, according to the artists, is on the “threads of opulence and consumption.”
This is what passes for art these days?! Psychedelic-induced art? Aborted fetuses on plates? Depicting Jesus in grotesque poses? It’s not only blasphemous to Jesus Christ but it’s also deviant, disturbing, and disgusting 🤮. Why is Christianity always being insulted? I bet it would be different if it were Mohamed instead of Jesus? The de la Torre brothers try to be avant-garde, push boundaries, and be thought provoking but this is not cool at all. You don’t have to be disrespectful and disgusting if you want to say something about global elitism and wasteful capitalism.
