Aquiles has obsessively favoured scrap material from the bodywork of old cars or containers of the most varied types to make small walking human figures, or perfectly flattened squares grouped according to an impeccable arrangement. He has not abandoned canvas, however, using a combination of techniques to produce an abstract work where graffiti connotes the emotional impact in the direction that the artist is interested in.
Tania Bruguera
1968
According to the artist herself, art is a vehicle for reflection; consequently, seeking to convey an intimate and personal experience to a collective space, she recurrently uses performance art to achieve her purpose. Topics such as the dichotomy of endurance and submission in the artistic, social and individual levels are treated with such extreme violence and tension, that, as a metaphor of human suffering, it impedes the traditional kindly contemplative reception.
Tomás Sánchez
1948
After a first experience bordering on the new figurative painting with marked expressionistic nuances, he depicted the rural landscape using resources from photorealism and contemplative abstraction; hinted behind his serene landscapes of balanced and harmonious composition, the reproduction of luminous or subdued atmospheres and meticulous strokes is a profound conceptualization which makes the viewer search beyond what is revealed at first sight.
