Polar Bear Alebrijes

A striking alebrijes from Oaxaca, hand-carved in wood by Armando Jiménez, grandson of wood carving master Manuel Jiménez. A third-generation voice in the Arrazola tradition, his creatures hold a strong, sculpted presence, brought to life through bold colour and confident, visible brushwork.

Alebrijes have been carved, painted and signed as individual works since the late 20th century. Unlike anonymous folk craft, these are authored pieces, bearing the maker’s name, with styles, palettes and creatures that become recognisable over time.

Signed by the artist and in good condition.
