ORÍ GUERREIRA TAMOYA, 2022 by José Ignacio Suarez Solis From the Series Figures Acrylic paint on canvas.

Abyss of time and space that separates him from these people, that leaves him from those who were the first inhabitants of the Brazilian coasts and of this vast American continent. His initial language is two-dimensional painting, acrylic on canvas, observing the forests that survive in the city. Licuris trunks, follaje, bamboo forests. Organicity and geometry in one vivid palette that longs to break barriers and move through spheres of other rhythms, to live other years. Vegetation is the theme constant for the artist and appears here as an element of reframing. Now introducing the human figure with calls protagonism, his paintings announce an anthropophagic act in which Finally, the meat returns to the forest and the forest returns to the flesh. Man and kill and El asesino and el hombre become part of the same body. If his relationship with history and memory is rigorous, José Ignacio seeks a dialogue that is sufficiently open to honor an existence and at the same time rematerialize other corsés. A Tupinambá leader, a Goitacá warrior, a Maya chac-mool. Any distance between them will no longer make sense.
Everyone inhabits José Ignacio's dream universe. That's how it is committed to the quest to establish a path that is capable of promoting, in painting, wood, stone and iron, the creation of a pantheon of men, women and deities that exist in these forests I belong, I belong and I belong.
