Description

This artwork features an enigmatic figure standing confidently in a dimly lit, industrial-like space. The individual is adorned in a striking black garment, accented with vibrant neon hues. A bright green circular motif on their back draws the eye, while a radiant rainbow band encircles their waist, adding a dynamic splash of color. The figure's head and staff are crowned with vivid yellow elements, enhancing their mysterious, almost regal presence. Scattered around the setting, neon paint splatters across the walls and floor, creating a surreal, otherworldly atmosphere. The choice of bold colors juxtaposed against the dark backdrop evokes a sense of rebellion and individuality. The setting, reminiscent of an abandoned warehouse, adds an air of mystery and exploration. This artwork captivates the viewer with its fusion of urban grit and vibrant expression, inviting interpretations of strength and transformation.

From the series Ser Cosa Archival pigment print on fine art paper …this series of portraits that at first glance appear to us as extraterrestrial beings, once we understand the images they become more familiar than they appear, “humans too human” perhaps more human than they appear. And for Adorno's negative dialectic, the problem was given as a human being in a world hostile to humans, the characters of Etem seem so natural to us to the extent that their presence is outside the pose of the portraits of the kings of the past, rather resemble the workers, peasants, common people in general, portrayed by Gustave Courbet or the realists of the mid-19th century, these new realists are captured by the camera in the usual development of their daily lives, in the hostile world of the desert or the swamp or the storm… Hernán Pacurucú. curator Fragment of the text: A glacial aesthetic.
