A wedding is taking place in Felipe’s hometown church of San Pedro Martir Ocotlan, Oaxaca. The church is lined with large sculptures of saints. Weddings in San Pedro Martir are televised nationally in Mexico for their elaborate celebrations/customs. Wedding celebrations can last several days and include everyone in town. Felipe Morales is a leading painter known for Oaxacan Magical Surrealism. Having trained with Rufino Tamayo and Rodolfo Morales, Felipe’s paintings are influenced by his investigations and celebrations of the iconic symbolism he finds in the popular spirit of Mexican folk art. Morales’s paintings have been exhibited at many significant museums shows, including Museo Carillo Gil, Mexico City (1983) and Kunsthal Rotterdam (1993).
