The pieces in the exhibition by artist Isabel Sánchez are characterized by the use of specific earths that she carefully seeks out in various regions of Oaxaca, to which she adds pulque in the fermentation process. The connection of the artist's heartbeat with the kneading of ceramics brings to life works laden with symbolism and a connection to nature and movement. On this occasion, the pieces in the exhibition are inspired by myths and legends that touch on the theme of eroticism and the pleasures of life, focusing on the Matlazihuas, seductive female figures.
Among the highlighted pieces is "Brebaje y Placer," a series of cups crafted in the shape of skulls and devils, evoking the myths and rituals of life and death in every sip. This collection of ceramic tequila cups represents elements of Mexican culture such as magic, potions, hidden pleasures, the figure of the devil, and death, creating a sensory and visual experience where art, tequila, and tradition intertwine.
Licorería Limantour, one of the pillars of hospitality in Mexico City, has stood out since its opening in 2011 on the iconic Álvaro Obregón Avenue, offering innovative drinks and a unique experience for its visitors. A frequent presence on the 50 Best Bars list worldwide and continentally, the establishment is distinguished by its service and differentiated proposal.
On the occasion of the Day of the Dead, Licorería Limantour has organized a presentation by artist Isabel Sánchez, who through sculptures aims to pay homage to the duality between life and death. During this period, visitors can enjoy a special menu in collaboration with Don Julio 1942 while observing how the bar transforms into a contemporary altar adorned with golden cempasúchil flowers, serving as a bridge between the worlds of the living and the spirits.
"La Muerte Chiquita" is the culmination of Isabel Sánchez's work in the exhibition, showcasing her mastery in the use of ancestral techniques that carry deep symbolic meaning.
