Echoing Diego Rivera's splayed mosaic of the Aztec water god in Chapultepec Park, Mexico City, Einar and Jamex offer Austin Coyolxaqui , an Aztec warrior god who emerged from his mother's womb fully grown to slaughter all of his siblings. The god glows thanks to colored attire. Reflecting Aztec culture in contemporary Mexico, Coyolxaqui is dismembered. Pink quilting fabric runs around the border of the dish. Dotted around the vinyl, flowers with crushed aluminum can blooms vie for attention with blown-glass Rolling Stones lips.
Ornamental shields dominate one wall.
Amongst them is Angry God , an image of glass and metal bearing a demon surrounded by happy faces. In these surroundings, Orguilo calls the eyes like a siren to a pair of sailors. A beautiful woman in a bikini sits on a beautiful car, batting her eyelids like Daisy, the car-loving woman in Cool Hand Luke . The Virgin of Guadalupe peeps out from a cloud in the corner of the painting. This mixture would be absurd if it did not comprise reality in Mexico and the border regions.
