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. 这个及时的版本收集了尼古拉斯 · 德 · 耶稣三十年的当代艺术。在这惊人的选择,诗意颠覆艺术家尼古拉斯德耶稣庆祝生活和谴责不公正。德耶稣因其令人眼花缭乱的骷髅人物而闻名,这些人物描绘的是工作、庆祝、行走在街道上,或者穿越刻在 amate 上的边界。 amate 是一种树皮纸,在哥伦布发现美洲大陆之前用来绘制手稿。他还在大型绘画和横幅中表达了自己的政治承诺,这些画作和横幅涉及广泛的紧迫主题,包括移民、人权和环境不稳定。他的艺术影响范围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。德耶苏斯的著作还论述了最近的危机,比如美国国会大厦遭到袭击、移民和美国黑人面临的压迫,以及2019冠状病毒疾病带来的灾难。这本书涵盖了三十年的艺术作品,对当代艺术的传统定义提出了挑战,其特点是由 Felipe Erenberg,Patrice Giasson,aline Hémond,Julian Kreimer,Caroline Perrée 和 Pablo Piccato 撰写的文章。 基本信息 出版社 : Hirmer Publishers (2022年5月5日) 语言 : 英语 精装 : 176页 ISBN-10 : 3777438448 ISBN-13 : 978-3777438443 商品重量 : 1.13 kilograms 尺寸 : 22.86 x 1.78 x 27.94 cm
