Daniel Esquivia-Zapata

March 26-April 30

Daniel’s work explores ideas about historical memory, official historical narratives, and what he terms the politics of remembering. He does this through life-size figurative drawings that combine historical texts, the human body, plants, and animals to generate strong spaces that work as poetic imagery, probing the dynamics of narratives in history and historical memory. To create these drawings, he uses a combination of traditional figure drawing techniques, liquid charcoal and fragmented print, and hand-written texts to draw on several layers of mylar, creating life-size drawings to create news bodies that work as metaphors for political bodies intersected by history, newspaper articles, archives, looking to make visible ¨the of place of memory¨ that are our bodies among the discourses that intersect them. |
