Repuestos

Solo Show · 2018 · Hi-Lo Press Gallery · Atlanta GA

I grew up in a noisy and chaotic neighborhood full of cramped spare parts shops; cars and mechanics fixing things everywhere. The place has its own aesthetic and organization. The only reason to go there is to get cars fixed cheap. No one cares how it looks, because it really doesn't matter; it's function over form. This unique neighborhood influenced my concept of beauty, perfection and authenticity. Repuestos is a series of drawings and paintings based on elements, shapes, places and objects that surrounded me when I was growing up and that connects me to my memories
