In celebration of A La Altura: Visionary Mexican Music 1977-1999 - Volumes 1 & 2, Light in the Attic is honored to present a handful of very special merch pieces featuring the artwork of Eduardo Terrazas.
Born in Guadalajara in 1936, Eduardo Terrazas is an artist with more than 50 years dedicated to architecture, urbanism, museography, and design. Considered a founding member of the contemporary art scene in Mexico, his work seeks to revise the possibilities of form and color. His work as a designer came to prominence as Director of the Urban Design Department and as co-designer of the iconic logo for the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City. In the seventies, Terrazas began to experiment with drawing the formal relationships between geometric elements that combined with Mexican art crafts appropriations, have resulted in a unique language, navigating both contemporary art and artisan tradition. Hence, he has adopted the Huichol technique, in which colored wool strands are arranged on wooden boards covered with wax, not only for its aesthetic properties but also for the difficulty demanded by the method itself; it involves a firm concentration in the act that leads to a meditative process. He currently lives and works in Mexico City. His works are part of prominent private and institutional collections around the world.
