ABOUT THE ARTWORK
We seem to live in an inevitable nonconformity. We do not accept the uncertainty that arises from our total ignorance about death, and while denying the only certainty that we probably have, we construct a hopeful discourse about a hypothetical future in which it is impossible to stop existing. The representation of an imaginary on death pretends to rethink life’s real sense, inducing the observer to an act of resistance to the consumption of ideas imposed by a contaminated society. Denying death is denying life. So perhaps it is necessary to understand that tragedy is not the supposedly reality of death. Tragedy is about not accepting this possibility and consequently, not having enough time to live. Property of the Museum of Visual Arts (MAVI), Chile

Fernando Gómez Balbontín (1981), is a Chilean artist and architect who has been creating and painting as a way of questioning and resisting his environment since childhood. His creative process involves pictorial experimentation, traveling between figurative and abstract art. His work consists of building a portrait of western consumer society by using recognizable elements such as destroyed technological bulks, phalluses and virgins. These emotionally charged imagery allows him to express a unique perspective on the links between death, consumption and religion. His paintings have been exhibited internationally and are part of private collections in Chile, China, the United Kingdom and the United States.
