Presents Vixctor Vazquez's "El Cuerpo y El Autoretrato Extendido". The photographically-based art of Victor Vazquez. Eminently theatrical and deeply spiritual at the same time, Vazquez is obsessed with Christian iconography, specifically the iconic suffering and pain of Jesus Christ on the cross. He re-imagines the event over and over again, and the pervasive theme of his oeuvre is The Sacrifice. Still: "Although these pieces have a residue of the ancient strength of the altarpiece, of the sacrifice, and especially of the body pierced and in pain, these referents acquire a re-functionalization by the grace of montage, which places them in a new, inaugural space. That is why these images disarm the spectator. Their reality is stronger than what they evoke" (Ruben Rios Avila). An absolute "must-have" title for Victor Vazquez collectors.
