About The Artwork

Allegory of the cave - The fire dance The flickering flames inside the cave are the only mention of the light that its inhabitants know. More than illuminating the environment, the fire dance is perceived only by the shadows of the shapes projected on the walls. Implying that the facts of the world do not immediately appear as we should interpret them and that the ultimate reality of things may be hidden from a less attentive look, thus trying to explain how we come to know things, through a look that goes beyond mere immediate appearance and seeks reality. Mixed media over photography (30x40cm), fixed on a 40x50cm wooden panel and framed on the edges with black wood, ready to hang. Shipped in a carboard box.

Boczon's work is directed towards a game of contrasts and physicality between overlap and transparency, seeking to hide and reveal in equal measures. This stratification process aims to show the corporeality of the two-dimensional work, highlighting each error and new direction taken, in order to remind us of the painting process. What drives his research is the curiosity to find the beauty hidden in everyday life, in the supports and pictorial material, and bring it to the surface, so that the viewer questions and appreciates aspects for which he, normally, would not give importance. His research and production are strongly influenced by Tachismo and Arte Povera, by the reuse and recycling of materials, ideas and concepts. Often, when using his own older works, reconstructing and making new collages from them, he is recycling both the physical item and the concepts behind these works. Began his artistic research in the Atelier of Painting of the Museum Alfredo Andersen, under the direction of Ronald Yves Simon, also attended workshops in painting, printmaking and photography . Participates, since 1999, of Salons of Art and Exhibitions Collectives and Individuals, being awarded five times.
