Our Lady of Guadalupe is the patroness of the Americas and is a traditional and powerful symbol for Mexicans and Mexican-Americans. The shrine, designed by the artist is on the Plaza wall of the Cathedral and represents the appearance of Mary, Jesus’ mother, to Saint Juan Diego near Mexico City in 1531. The exhibition will also showcase recently completed paintings by Garcia presenting the six apparitions of Guadalupe to Juan Diego. This exhibition is the second in a series of exhibitions presenting the conceptual work by the artist who created art for the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels.
