Artist: Nicolás Romero (Argentina, b. 1985)
他於二十年前開始在他的家鄉-布宜諾斯艾利斯的街道上以Ever為名塗鴉並簽名,當時的布宜諾斯艾利斯剛脫離長達八年的軍事獨裁。那時,人們將藝術視為自由的象徵。
目前,尼古拉斯正圍繞“自然死亡”為題,展開他的系列作品。他擅長將生活周遭的事物及人類學結合,將觀察到社會上的所見所聞表現於作品之中形成它獨特的符號。這些符號代表著不同的事物,例如:經濟、文化、宗教、食物、生活用品等等...。
尼古拉斯的作品中即使沒有人類的出現,這些顯而易見的社會符碼,卻也成為了人類存在過的證明。
尼古拉斯長期實踐社會觀察,其作品取材自他在人類學領域研究的中所發現的空間關係,不同的場域、符號、行動者和脈絡之間交互作用,這些元素在經濟、社會和文化中共存,並不斷定義著社會實踐。他的作品由許多生活中現成物拼貼而成,例如比可口可樂、飲料罐、食物,將這些物品擺放在一起即使沒有人類的出現,不僅證明著人類的存在,同時,也展現了現代大環境下社會環境的脈絡。
Nicolás Romero trained in painting and drawing in 1999 with Ariel Olivetti and between 2007 and 2008 he studied at the Rojas Cultural Center.
At present, Nicolás is developing his work around the "Dead Natures", with which through the union of elements he has found a way to use the image as a means of social reflection and anthropological research.
He works through traces that he finds in his most immediate context, the result of the social network and symbols born from the coexistence of social, cultural and economic factors.
From soft drink bottles to religious prints, political symbols, contemporary icons or something as apparently innocent as fruits and vegetables are part of these compositions that he uses as a bridge to talk about more complex realities.
