Artist's Statement
Erick Sánchez
Dangerous Land
My new proposal “Dangerous Land" is a response to environmental, social, political and inhumane worldwide contemporary issues. I give shape to an unstable space that no longer has or will disappear because of globalization, industrialization and global warming. This leads to natural disasters extinguishing life and nature. These events are the consequences of human behavior. Theologists call it the Apocalypse; the Rapture. I call it Destiny.
The materials I’m using in this series of paintings, collages and installations are liquid and powder pigments in raw, various acrylic mediums, emulsion, charcoal, graphite, shredded rubber, glass beads, copper and aluminum leaf, black magnum, urethane, stainless steel, silver and aluminum powder among others.
