Ofrenda

"Ofrenda" Linocut by Carlos Barberena

"Ofrenda" (after Gauguin)

Linocut on Graphic Paper

"Ofrenda / Offering" (after Gauguin) is my linocut included in the "Thresholds to Conservation" Print Portfolio published by the Art House in McAllen, TX in 2009.
"Thresholds to Conservation" is the first Rio Grande Valley Collaborative printmaking portfolio produced in response to a call for artist, printmakers, and educators by Reynaldo Santiago, curator at the Art House Gallery in McAllen, Texas. Invited to participate in the portfolio are a unique group of international and local artists who have interpreted images, each with a specific message, based on the title via a variety of printmaking techniques. All prints are original, hand pulled, and signed by the artist.
