AG Studio designs Mexican rooftop bar as a "matriarchal universe"

Crocodile-shaped furniture and shrine-like water features characterise Tonana, a rooftop bar in San Miguel de Allende designed by Mexican firm AG Studio to pay homage to ancient goddesses.

Tonana is located on the rooftop of Casa Hoyos, a boutique hotel also interior designed by AG Studio, which belongs to the Hoyos family.

When creating the bar, studio founder Andrés Gutiérrez was influenced by the family's "matriarchal history" that was first celebrated in the hotel design. This included a tile-clad mural of the Virgin of Loreto, the patron saint of San Miguel de Allende, in...

Bruno Pontiroli Tests the Boundaries of Familiarity in His Uncanny Wildlife Paintings

“Imagine a world based on a different logic; a universe comprised of the absurd and paradoxes,” prompts Bruno Pontiroli, whose paintings explore the sometimes grotesque tension between the familiar and the uncanny.

The artist is known for his absurdist paintings of animals with overly long legs, contorted bodies, or myriad mutant-like heads or limbs. They’re often set amid woodlands or meadows evocative of 18th- and 19th-century academic landscape paintings or depictions of formal hunts. Instead, both domesticated and wild animals graze as normally as they would without dozens of heads or udders attached in unnatural places around their bodies.
