Les alebrijes sont des sculptures d'art populaire mexicain en papier mâché. N'importe quel animal peut servir de base à ces créations chimériques : paré ou pas d'attributs insolites mais toujours peint de couleurs vives, les possibilités sont infinies.
Les premiers alebrijes sont créés par Pedro Linares. Dans les années 1930, Linares tombe très malade, dans ses délires fiévreux, il rêve d'étranges créatures peuplant une forêt. Une fois rétabli, il les dessine et crée des sculptures en carton et papier mâché qu'il nomme "alebrijes". Son travail attirera l'attention et sera à l'origine d'un artisanat très populaire au Mexique. Ces créatures fantasmagoriques font même leur défilé, à Mexico !

One of two six-metre-tall fantastical beasts by artist Fefe Talavera. Created in the Mexican folk art tradition of Alebrijes, brightly coloured sculptures of imaginary creatures, traditionally made of paper or wood. These inflatable Alebrijes represent strength, resistance, love and the cultural roots to which they are connected.

alebrije is the name given to the familiar carved wood animals and figures made in Oaxaca Mexico. This ceramic woman carries an alebrije on her head and another one in her hands.
This wonderful work comes from the workshop of master potter Concepcion Aguilar of Ocotlan Oaxaca Mexico
#DoodlewashApril2021 Prompts: Giraffe & Rooster. The Girooster Alebrije is a hybrid of the Giraffe and Rooster. I haven't decided if I should go totally wild or keep it to more realistic coloration. Zebra Technical Pen on Hahnemühle 640 gm Hot Press Collection Watercolor paper.

On the road and can't upload photos so I am moving forward one of the early photos which I posted on Flickr in 2006. Will comment on contacts' photos when I have a faster connection. Have a great week.
Alebrijes (Spanish pronunciation: are brightly colored Oaxacan-Mexican folk art sculptures of fantastical creatures. The first alebrijes, along with use of the term, originated with Pedro Linares. In the 1930s, Linares fell very ill and while he was in bed, unconscious, Linares dreamt of a strange place resembling a forest. There, he saw trees, animals, rocks, clouds that suddenly turned into something strange, some kind of animals, but, unknown animals. He saw a donkey with butterfly wings, a rooster with bull horns, a lion with an eagle head, and all of them were shouting one word, "Alebrijes". Upon recovery, he began recreating the creatures he saw in cardboard and paper maché and called them Alebrijes.
