The title “Love Thy”  is fitting for a show by an American artist in a Mexican gallery, as political forces aim to divide the two countries that are socially, economically, culturally and geographically linked.
This connection between Mexico and The United States is obvious in our day-to-day encounters as food, art, traditions, entertainment and ideas from both places have effortlessly passed through the militarized border that divides us. Zupa’s work that incorporates Mexican and Aztec imagery is proof of that. But he also uses imagery and inspiration from around the world.

Colima 159, Roma
Mexico City 06700

Tuesday & Wednesday 11 am – 5 pm
Thursday & Friday Viernes 11 am – 8 pm
