Descripción de la Exposición
The Diana Lowenstein Gallery is pleased to present an artist who's work can exemplify the global representation of contemporary art seen as how he has worked in many countries spanning 3 continents. Humberto Diaz's solo exhibition, Bailando en Casa del Trompo (Dancing in the Spinning Top's House) deliberately forces the viewer to shift their perspective regarding elements that could be consideres insignificant; Essentially displaying the unexpected.
---------------------------------
"Astonishment, admiration, strangeness, marvel; in a word not yet known, lies the meaning of what awaits for us in this exhibition: Bailando en Casa del Trompo (Dancing in the Spinning Tops' House). Here, the artist articulates natural as well as artificial elements bestowing upon them a new function, a trascendental meaning, another life.
Without succumbing to any normative, the artist develops with absolute freedom of creation, defending an art that suggests a reflexion over the concept itself of what art is, of aesthetic beauty. A fragment that could result as insignificant is now transformed into a poetic image and reaches the dimension of art.
The doings by hands of Humberto Diaz produce a visual literacy that can be comprehended almost as a language read and that spans from satires, derision, absolute provocation and the most imaginative suggestions. An object driven world appropriating the space around it and offering us the unexpected."
