My paintings reflect my intrigue with the notion that, throughout history, pigment has been applied directly to the body to seduce, wage war, and summon gods among other ceremonial functions. The figure is also the ideal form through which to explore my interest—the dichotomous relationship between men and women. My works are propaganda banners showcasing the orgiastic relationship between my equally promiscuous parts—male and female, abstract and gestural, Mexican and American, intellect and instinct, artisan and artist. If propaganda can be understood as perpetrating lies, then it must also be understood as resonating some collectively held truth—each sex is the other’s reflection and fetish, satellized. | ||||||||||
