I’m happy to report that the painting we bought in Merida is now framed and hung in our home. We’re nearly out of wall space, so it’s a relief to have the art safely installed on the wall. (As we both studied art, we’ve got too much stuff in drawers!) But Lobo’s work deserves to be seen.
Love it!
I bought a Lobo painting in Playa del Carmen about 10 years ago, and I have been searching for more work from this artist ever since. I love your painting. Can you tell me what is the art gallery that you purchased it from? My painting is also of a group of Mayan musicians but the feel is much different. Wish I had a picture of it to share with you but my Mom pretty stole my painting and now it hangs as the center piece of her whole house over the fire place…. I must get another one!
Hi. I stopped to talk with Lobo only a few days ago. He usually may be found at Parque de la Maternidad on c.60 between Sta Lucia and Plaza Grande in Merida, on Sundays. ~eric.
Hi Amy (Ms Glaze),
I’ve only just noticed that you are in Paris, so can’t visit Lobo here in Merida. If you would like, I could arrange (at no charge) a transaction between you and a gallery owner friend, Janet Bremer, of Eskalera Gallery. Here is Janet’s fb page for her gallery: https://www.facebook.com/GaleriaLaEskalera . She has an artist client who has a studio and gallery in Paris, who would surely vouch for her.
And here is mention of her gallery and his work, on my friend Paul’s blog:

My wife reads a food blog from Paris by David Lebovitz, and is now reading yours.

ps: Lobo had one of his older oil paintings on display on the sidewalk recently. I really liked it, but we already have two of his pieces, the other being a sculpture. My wife says we have no room for another. (Wish I had a picture.) Happy to help.
