Curatorial Statement
syn·cre·tism
/ˈsiNGkrəˌtizəm/
Definition: the adaptation of a dominant way of life or philosophy through its combination with other ways of life or philosophies. These ways of life include culture, religion and schools of thoughts.
These emerging artists presented in this exhibition adapt their urbanized contemporary ethos into their carnal rearing that includes a reciprocal expression of language, mythology and imagery. Having studied visual arts in notorious institutions where the exploration of a discourse that extends beyond their personal one is encouraged, these artists depart from the present study of cyber kinetics and modernization to contextualize their inherited essence. Hugo Gutierrez depicts photographic representations of renowned, pre-Columbian, museumistic objects, such as the stone serpent of Malinalco and Colima culture effigies, and images of Mexican counter-culture, in overexposed fluorescent reproductions to signal a stasis of symbolism within a fabricated, black and white, psychedelic atmosphere. Are these images true to the viewer as a reminiscence of our once evolved ancient past, or a deconstrued definition that has morphed into a personal pop pictogram by the creator?
Alberto Mendiola’s usage of cybernated, antistatic images of Cocijo, the Zapotec lightning deity, and haunting historical episodes of modern-day Oaxaca seen through a distorted and manipulated lens, seem too indelible to solely “paint the picture.” It’s depth in his cultural context produces a pulsating memory sensory to the viewer.
The complexity of symbolism found in Gabriela Morac’s linoleum and woodcut prints is eternal; as is the iconography of the ancient civilization of the Zapotecs. Incorporating her intrinsic beliefs of the origins and caretakers of corn, womanhood, horticulture, and animal life into personal figurative mandalas of her modern values reinterprets the way her Zapotec generation values their present. For Morac it is not rescuing her ancestral beliefs, but making them metaphorically poignant through the syncretism of these images in her perfected printmaking techniques.

Una nación de gráfica, gráfica contemporánea del siglo XXI
Una nación de grafica, grafica contemporánea de Mexico del siglo XXI
Una nación de gráfica es una propuesta de gráfica contemporánea del sigo XXI que parte del proyecto que se originó de la exposición con el mismo título en Red Dot Art Gallery, Oaxaca. Los artistas visuales que aquí se muestran son ejemplares de las múltiples visiones, técnicas y experimentaciones que ahora se abarca en la gráfica contemporánea. Ejemplos de discursos científicos como los de la maestra Coral Revueltas, originaria de la Ciudad de México, donde plantea cuestiones de espacio, desplazamiento y tiempo; de contextualización de sitios geográficos, desciframientos de significados y automatizaciones instantáneas de memorias como los de Gustavo Arias Murueta; historias y contemplaciones de experiencias vivenciadas a la vez reales y absurdas de Mononimo8; extracciones de “iluminación” entre la obscuridad de Adrián Aguirre; cuestionamientos de la utilización representativa de objetos culturalmente banales y yuxtaposiciones de valores intrínsecos en objetos y lugares de Emmanuel López; juego y definiciones de la naturaleza sexual de Pita Wild C.; y la representación del Ser obscuro y non grato de lo humano de René Almanza, se encuentran en la gráfica de género contemporáneo ahora.
Una nación de gráfica, gráfica contemporánea del siglo XXI estará expuesta del 22 de julio al 4 de septiembre del 2022. CATÁLOGO.
