Descripción de la Exposición
Es la primera exposición individual en Estados Unidos de este artista valenciano.

-------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------

Jonathan LeVine Gallery in association with Sara & Marc Schiller of Wooster Collective are pleased to present Batalla, a series of new works by Valencia-based artist Vinz, in what will be his debut solo exhibition in the United States. In conjunction with the exhibition, Vinz Feel Free, a new book published by Wooster Collective will be released at the gallery on Friday, November 30 from 7-9pm, followed by an opening reception on Saturday, December 1 from 7-9pm.

 

Batalla features a series of mixed media collage works, paintings and sculptures. The central theme is a rebellion against governmental, corporate or religious impositions placed upon society to establish social order at the expense of personal freedom.

 

Vinz uses a multi-step process to create his unique imagery. He first photographs nude models, either isolated ... or orchestrated in small groups. He then paints animal heads onto large-scale prints of the human figures, creating hybrid subjects with a system of symbols attached to various species-birds signify freedom and fish represent consumerism while frogs and lizards convey authority.

 

In 2011, the artist began applying this series of work-the I project-to the walls of his native Valencia and other European cities using wheatpaste. Taking a more delicate approach to his studio work, Vinz collages paper ephemera into a background texture, as a base to print the figures onto, before painting details in enamel or gouache.

 

'Tapping into the question 'What is Freedom?' with arresting images in mixed media, Vinz is one of the most important emerging artists from Europe today.' - Sara & Marc Schiller of Wooster Collective

 

Vinz was born in 1979 in Valencia, Spain, where he is currently based. He received a BFA in 2003 from Universidad Politécnica in Valencia. In January of 2012, his work was included in Hybrid Thinking, a group exhibition curated by Sara & Marc Schiller of Wooster Collective at Jonathan LeVine Gallery. Vinz was recently invited by esteemed fashion photographer Mario Testino to collaborate on two images which were published as spreads in the December 2012 issue of VOGUE Spain, for which he was guest curator.
