By
painting the particular atmosphere of people observing art, I create a
parallel space with that in which my paintings are being observed.
Therefore, these paintings produces three viewpoints: the vision
of one who observes a painting whose subject matter is those
viewing works of art. It is a play on dimensions, of the spaces where
viewing art takes place. The
intention is to capture and comment on that ambience, on the act of
contemplating and the interrelation between the observer and the
observed.” -
Pancho Luna Since the
beginning of the 1990s, Pancho Luna has developed artistic work that
analyzes global social and political themes, including globalization
itself. He has mainly reflected on this theme through iconic maps on
which the entire planet is converted into terra firma without
oceans, but full of urban sprawl and highways. Now, almost a decade into
the 21st Century, Luna inaugurates a solo exhibition entitled
“Bazaar,” in which he once again evokes globalization in a more
implicit way, through a trend that spans the world and especially the
world of art: the vindication of design and its visual resources in the
auratic context of a gallery or museum, by turning that discipline 180
degrees from its original function - whether informational or
utilitarian and industrial- to the absolute freedom of self-referential
aesthetic discourse. |
