Ruben Marroquin

What began as simple drawings to help me remember yoga sequences during my 200-hour teacher training evolved into an ongoing series exploring movement, humor, and the wonderful experience of practicing yoga.

Now these characters are stepping off the page and into a new collection of wearable drawings. & T-shirts & tanks

Embroidered Yoga figures on linen, canvas and T-shirt. I recently completed a 200 hour yoga teacher training, and planning to start teaching classes sometime soon. These drawn sequences are helpful remembering the vignettes.

New work from an ongoing series exploring textiles as both surface and coverage. This piece revisits quilting — one of the earliest foundations of Ruben’s textile practice — now expanded through the sculptural language and structural forms that define his work.

The custom patterned fabric, featuring a motif inspired by Philip Guston, was originally designed during the artist’s textile and surface design studies at the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC. Guston’s visual language has influenced generations of artists, and this work stands as an homage to the titan’s enduring legacy.
