"Xido, Ótomi word for white clay tepatate, is an infertile local soil, useless for agriculture, intensively used in traditional construction as it dries to a rock hardness, and the locale of my studio. Beautiful cacti and mesquite survive and even thrive in Xido. Over time they enrich the land and make life possible for less hardy plants." -Alberto Lenz.

About the Artist: Alberto Lenz is recognized for his geometric abstractions linked to a diverse series of sources, from European Constructivism to Pre-Columbian Art. Using a series of basic patterns, which the artist calls "visual units," Lenz creates drawings and paintings that combine repetition and variation and an intense color palette with the overall structure of each work. With more than fifty solo and group exhibitions, Alberto Lenz has presented his work in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Caracas, Barcelona and New York and is one of the key figures on the artistic scene in our city.
