My Highlights from arteBA 2014
These works summarize the rich scenario of modern and contemporary Argentine artists, whose creative process was and is impregnated with images of art history, irreverence, and a commitment to their day-to-day surroundings. Berni, with his characters that carry the weight of a harsh reality; Hlito recreating figuration; Miño with his stairway-labyrinths, which recapture the aesthetic tradition of the Bauhaus school; Gordín and his playful universe filled with mystery; and Sacco with her eyes that perplexed visitors to the 2001 Venice Biennial.
