在这部惊艳的选集中,具有诗意颠覆性的艺术家尼古拉斯·德耶斯(Nicolas De Jesús)颂扬生命,谴责不公正。德耶斯以其令人眼花缭乱的骷髅人物而闻名,他描绘了工作、庆祝、走在街上或跨越刻在amate上的边界——在前哥伦布时代用于绘制手稿的树皮纸。他还通过强有力的大型画作和横幅表达了他的政治承诺,这些画作和横幅涉及广泛的紧急主题,包括移民、人权和环境不稳定。他的艺术影响从墨西哥的艺术传统到芝加哥、巴黎和雅加达等城市的国际经验。
De Jesú的作品还论述了最近美国国会大厦的风暴、移民和美国黑人面临的镇压以及2019冠状病毒疾病的灾难等危机。这本书涵盖了三十年的艺术品,挑战了当代艺术的传统定义,并收录了菲利佩·埃伦伯格、帕特里斯·贾松、艾琳·赫蒙德、朱利安·克莱默、,卡罗琳·佩雷和巴勃罗·皮卡托。
This timely edition collects three decades of contemporary art by Nicolás De Jesús.
In this stunning selection, poetically subversive artist Nicolas De Jesús celebrates life and condemns injustice. De Jesús became known for his dazzling skeleton characters, depicted working, celebrating, walking the streets, or crossing borders etched on amate —a bark paper used in Pre-Columbian times to paint manuscripts. He also expressed his political commitments in powerful large-scale paintings and banners that tackle a wide range of urgent themes including immigration, human rights, and environmental instability. His artistic influences range from Mexican artistic traditions to international experience in cities like Chicago, Paris, and Jakarta.
De Jesús’s work also addresses crises as recent as the storming of the US Capitol, as well as the repression faced by migrants and Black Americans, and the disasters of COVID-19. Covering three decades of artwork, this book offers a challenge to the conventional definition of contemporary art and features essays by Felipe Ehrenberg, Patrice Giasson, Aline Hémond, Julian Kreimer, Caroline Perrée, and Pablo Piccato.
