Sergio Suarez | Fountain, 2023
Woodblock
Media Dimensions: 121 x 182 cm
Image Dimensions: 121 x 182 cm
Edition of 5
Unframed only
Suarez's work is influenced by past and present codes of visual representation such as baroque painting, Mesoamerican material culture, and telescope imagery. Synthesizing woodblock carving, painting, and ceramic installation, hi practice constructs a visual language concerned with syncretism, porosity, and the influence that materiality has over notions of the body and metaphysics. Oscillating between empirical observation, material experimentation, poetic and esoteric approaches to making, the work poses questions such as: How is matter altered or transmuted? Why do we have notions that time erodes when it simultaneously compresses dust into stone?
