Castorena, perhaps maybe the last true local Chicano artist of our times. The "Mevale" in my opinion, speaks a visual language well known and heartfelt in our community. Perhaps it will someday be said Castorenas art is the voice of our local culture. "Nah", who would believe that you might say, you never know, the history of art is always in the making. I would like to say that I thought the show was indeed a great show. Some of the art pieces seem and should be destine to the permanent collection of the Brownsville Museum of Fine Arts. If ever that was considered by the BMFA go ahead and add Eduardos Cheeto Painting which deserves recognition. Not to get of track there...The greatest question for me will then stand will Castorena follow up with a sequel to "Mevale" and remain true to his roots or will he change his style ?
What is the future of Art in Brownsville for that matter ? The continuing of regurgitated art like "Anonymous" states or Mecca of the art scene post 911 ? You wish? You wonder? It can happen....sky is the limit.
