Oaxaca of Juarez.— In order to promote and support the work and creations of new artists in Oaxaca, the Underground Collective, organized his first collective exhibition called “Between devils and drunkards” which seeks to retake the technical elements of classical mural painting and the social character.
The exhibition, which was attended by the general director of the la House of Oaxacan Culture (CCO), Jesús Emilio de Leo Blanco, was carried out by young students of different levels and disciplines, related or not to the plastic arts, who have experience in the art world.
In this regard, Mario Guzmán, who directs, creates and coordinates the project that, for more than two years, has been growing, affirmed that El Taller de Pintura Mural de Oaxaca represents “a formal learning space within the reach of the popular sectors.”
Regarding the exhibition, he explained that it seeks to keep art alive, within the reach of the public and with constant interaction between the individual and the work, a condition that is only met, by separating it from segregating and elitist organisms, to take it to the street, to the walls.

He said that the young people who attend the workshop are instructed in drawing, composition and color theory, to provide them with tools that allow them to express their ideas, concerns, or perceptions of reality, through visual language.
“This sample is the product of a double genius. On the one hand, it results from the solvency strategies to continue with the training process of young people, members of the first and second generation of the workshop. And on the other, personal perceptions of one of the many elements that make up the imaginary about identity of the Central Valleys of Oaxaca: Mezcal ”, he highlighted.
