Alfredo Arreguin
Born in Moreila, Michoacan, Mexico in 1935, Alfedo Arreguin has lived and worked in Seattle since 1958. Arreguin's intricate and brilliantly colored canvases are informed by the memories of Mexican culture and natural landscape as well as the environment and the animals of the Pacific Northwest. The hypnotic and meditative patterns found within his paintings ar ebased upon pre-Aztec images, Mexican tiles, and purely geometric and optical patterns. The second edition of Arreguin's book, Patterns of Dreams and Nature, was published in 2007 by University of Washington Press. The National Academy of Sciences exhibited his work in 1996.
