About the work

About the work

Arturo Arvizu initiated his carrer in New York (1985), after carring out his studies in Paris since 1982. Contacts is his second one man show in Mexico, after participating in multiple collective exhibits. Who has seen his exposition the Oracle (1990) will notice a radical change in form, but perhaps one can understand the evolution of his original proposal primitivist-anecdotic, that reinterpretation between violent and hopefully oceanic religous myths, legends of emblematic sense, symbolic or ritual, he derives a latent content perception of all image, the magical thought that binds primigenial cultures, cosmogonies of all the world, without between them, entailed in essence, to the same spirit.

If Arvizu had not consciously been working with attributed values, to premonition, the dream, enchantment, invocation etc., his present landscapes merely habitated by of persons, would have lack the sense of duality or ambiguity, but above all the sensation that the landseape is , of something rare in the atmosphere that makes it unusual. This, that would seem like to much intelectual cream to the eye, in reality comes from a new postmodern visual education chance, that in the last thirty years has compel to see painting way beyond its mere formal spectacule.

The intencionality of the the works of Arvizu is a product of a long sail in painting, in the way to tell what is beyond the image without omitting her, only adulterating her sense by purely visual means, using easy plastic rudimentaries to realize, hard to conceptually charge.
