Colabora de forma habitual con la artista estadounidense Gilda Mantilla (Los Angeles, 1967). Raimond Chaves' work, concentrates on drawing, a practice which has been ever present throughout his career. The artist conceives this discipline as a multi-purpose tool with which to address a wide range of subjects, allowing him to combine various formats, registers and approaches. He shares with artist Gilda Mantilla (1967, Los Angeles, USA) his interest and compromise with the Latin American context. Through drawings, wall installations, posters, archival material, collective projects and workshops, Mantilla & Chaves, often working in collaboration, interpret genres and traditions associated to the concepts of drawing, cartography, landscape or portraiture, and ironize on the Latin American imagery.
