Label TextFelipe Archuleta was a Hispanic artist who spent most of his life working in New Mexico. In 1967 he experienced a religious awakening and began to carve animals. His inspiration stemmed from animals familiar to him and animals which he found in natural history books. Archuleta’s carvings are reminiscent of the traditional carvings found in Mexican religious shrines.Exhibition History"Popular Painters and Other Visionaries", El Museo del Barrio, New York, NY, November 13, 2021 - February 27, 2022.
