timeless dialogue
An interpretation of the aesthetic and Olmeca by Pablo Ariel Tenorio
Lorefice
The importance of dialogue is essential to discuss the works of these two artists,
First we must consider establishing dialogue between themselves and the work done.
Since you propose a picture that is ongoing, completed and terminated by the other.
Thus we see as sharing the same work techniques and procedures, graphite, ink, acrylics, collages lend the game to these visual talks and we could speak of a dialogue between these techniques. There is also a meeting between the languages \u200b\u200bused in these works, so live images from the world of comics, illustration, graffiti, film, engraving etc.
But what is most striking to see these works is the dialogue that develops between the images themselves, as establishing a connection between figures from the Olmec culture mysteriously disappeared thousands of years in Mexico and figures from the culture modern To speak of this culture as a tool of artists take the monumentality that is characteristic of the aesthetic Olmec giant heads of warriors or potential leaders of that time are the most precious objects of this culture, one of the works of Ariel Tenorio Y Paul Lorefice, an Olmec head coexist in time and space with the head of a character in the movie "Star Wars" two cultural icons distant eras are integrated into a single composition, this is where we stop to see if it really a relationship between these art forms.
also work on the importance of corn, fertility, land and life-giving rain and combine images of the celebration of the Olmec rain, with a frame of the movie "Psycho" with a very suggestive title "singing in the rain" thus prefixed are two ways to praise a natural phenomenon in very different times, in some way these artists tell us how the man keeps talking about the same things in different ways and still can not find answers to these questions: What is life? What is death?
work with images of sculptures of babies, which at the time of the Olmec were placed in cemeteries and perhaps referring to the cyclical between life and death, so long sought to portray the duality of man, the link between heaven and earth etc. Olmec baby combine the artwork of the album "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd and relates directly to the passage of time.
Somehow, in this work is expressed regarding the time in human existence, it seems to disappear between these images and the relationships that offer themselves to each other.
Is that really the time does not exist? Will the death as we proposed in his famous Hamlet or may not be, is, "this mysterious journey from which no traveler ever returned ..."?
Who knows, perhaps this back constantly.
