ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Requiem to Gaia – The North is here - II (tribute to Joaquim Torres Garcia) Technique: oil + objects* on wood Dimensions: 108,3 x 109 cm Year: 2014 * Objects used: Computer boards, sawdust of computer boards, debris and components of computer boards and guava seeds. Note: In the 1930s, the Uruguayan artist Joaquin Torres Garcia proposed a map where the South America would be at the top of the world map in a way of questioning the hegemony of the countries that claim to be in the north of the planet. In the following decade he made another drawing that became very well known, presenting inverted South America. These two works (The North is here – I and II) are a tribute to him.
