Huichol Mexican Folk Art Mixed Media Yarn and Bead Painting by Neikame Direct from Mexico

This is an extraordinary Yarn, beads painting that measures 40″ x 40″. For years, most Huichol have been content to follow the footsteps of their ancestors, doing the same yarn painting over and over again, until one artist named Neikame came along. Neikame has almost single-handedly changed the direction of Huichol art with his mixed-media pieces made of yarn, beads, and acrylic paint that add real depth to his work. Neikame is an exceptional artist from Guadalupe Ocotan, in the municipality of La Yesca, Nayarit. A teacher by trade, he served in the Mexican Army and, after almost losing his culture, returned to the Sierra to study with his grandfather, who has taught him the way of the elders. Today, Neikame believes his art reflects how the Huichol feel in the new world order. His surreal style is undoubtedly taking Huichol art in a whole new direction. The images never capture how stunning these are in person. The price includes shipping to the continental United States.
