Benitez Studio: the ledgend continues at Peyote People
Kevin September 20th, 2009
Its a whole new world out there now that Jose Benitez has left us. Some have taken it upon themselves to exploit his death offering his art for exorbitant prices. His work will undoubtably go up, but not just 3months after his passing.
In a constant effort to stay one step ahead of the market we are proud to present a new facet in Huichol art- Benitez Studio: the ledgend continues at Peyote People; our new registered trade mark.
For the last few years Hilaria Chavez Carrillo, Benitez widow, worked hand in hand with the master. He taught her not only the importance of color and how to create depth by combining or contrasting colors but more importantly he taught her the importance of motion in an otherwise static art. Benitez is gone but his style will live on in the work of his widow Hilaria who is working directly with Peyote People from his old studio.
As with most art that has seen its prices appreciate there will undoubtably be a number of fakes, and copies of Benitez work that will make their way to market. Unscrupulous dealers and time-share marketing companies will go to great lengths to copy his signature and classic style. Benitez Studio: the ledgend continues at Peyote People is an exclusive line of yarn paintings that Peyote People has tradmarked and is your guarantee that the pieces were made by Benitez family and come from his old studio. For more information please feel free to email us or if your in Puerto Vallarta drop by the shop.
