Javier Vázquez
Buenos Aires, 1979
Javier Vázquez continually seeks to participate in the contemporary aesthetic as a politically incorrect artist. His installations and paintings delves into society issues such as immigration, globalisation or digital communication. The mixed techniques used allow to create a dialogue between a timeless idea and an essential contemporary character. The artist invite the public to reflect and to travel with him maintaining his own experience, tied to memories and totally subjective conceptions.
