Introducing the art of Honesty, an exhibition of work celebrating this fleeting virtue. The core of this exhibit is based on Luisa Gloria's "San Honesto," a fictional saint sanctified to fight against the universal corruption that fundamentally frames life in modern-day Mexico.

San Honesto, who was launched three years ago as Gloria's School of Visual Arts MFA Design thesis, is the patron saint against corruption, protector against bribes, and defender of truthfulness. His mirror face reflects the image of the person praying to him. Citizens of the world can give San Honesto as a gift to corrupt individuals to awaken a change in consciousness and improve their behavior. San Honesto is sponsored by Factoría de Santos, which believes that "a better world starts within ourselves. We must take responsibility of our actions, and not wait for change in others."

 

Honesty's artists include Tomas Tisch, Vena2, Ciler, Bang Buro, Dr. Morbito, Monica Ruzansky, Gabriela Alva Cal y Mayor, Tom Smith, and Luisa Gloria Mota-Velasco. They write: "To create a new yet authentically Mexican visual culture focused on honesty all artists applied the spirit of the mirror faced saint to their respective mediums, resulting in a fascinating range of 2D and 3D work reaching for a more pure sense of self."
