Calderon and Dopazo: Bicycle Series

Teresa Calderon and Mersuka Dopazo, Bicycle IV, Mixed Media on Canvas, 79 × 79 in.

 

It’s always exciting to open up a crate of new artwork! Our most recent arrival traveled to our galleries all the way from Bali! Inside we discover a stunning collection of pieces created by Mersuka Dopazo & Teresa Calderon.

Each piece in this series is distinct, featuring a muse on a  bicycle draped and layered with a unique mix of fabrics, brushstrokes and lively mark-making. All the works share a bohemian sophistication that reflects the free-spirited artist duo.
