Description

This artwork boldly juxtaposes vintage photography with contemporary abstraction. The lower portion features a black-and-white image of a woman holding a Polaroid Land Camera Model 20, evoking nostalgia and the essence of 1960s technology. Her enigmatic smile and the camera are partially obscured by vibrant yellow accents, adding a layer of intrigue and modernity. Above, a stark black section with a grid of small white dots contrasts sharply with the retro imagery below, creating a sense of depth and mystery. The interplay of textures and colors, including striking blue hues, exemplifies innovative fusion between past and present. This piece challenges viewers to reflect on the evolution of image-making and the cultural significance of photography. Its distinct blend of the familiar and the abstract invites an engaging exploration of visual history and artistic expression.

Roberto Fonfria, Polaroids

Presentation

Roberto Fonfría lives and works in Miami, Fl. He was born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1969. Roberto Fonfría creates stories through a random mix of found images, photographs, drawings, and words. He combines these elements and builds layers and textures using acrylics, common objects, and collage. His work explores human behavior and social rules with a critic eye and humor, touching on personal themes such as dreams, fears, and memories. The images come from old magazines, advertising and photo albums collected at thrift stores. By extracting them from their natural context, he reconstructs them by adding references to popular culture as well as common phrases and insights that come from his Venezuelan childhood.
