Les invitamos este jueves 3 de octubre a la Apertura de _ GLITCH _ por el
artista ponceño Nelson Fiqueroa
Nel Figueroa’s art embraces the unanticipated and unforeseeable, as well as things that don’t make sense. His mise-en-scènes, landscapes, and still lifes are fluid and ungraspable, always shifting and changing, like a chaos-monde. The inextricable masses he paints, draws, and assembles, are sites where memory, identity, and the imaginary commingle in a dazzling unknown that is part of a shared experience.
The artist interweaves Caribbean clichés with the visual phenomenon of glitches to probe ideas around representation and perception. His depictions of tropical flora and fauna, and symbols of power, are far from banaland formulaic. They are dynamic visions of contemporary culture intercepted by painted glitches that range from hard-edge bands and blocks of color, to swathes of paint blurred with rags, to tiny, island landscapes and still lifes.
