Back to All Events

South Realism X


Paintings by Edgar Cano*

The painting that I do is interested, simultaneously, in its own process and in the events of daily life, reinterpreted from personal experience. This expands, juxtaposes, amplifies, or accentuates them in order to create different evocations and a kind of point of convergence in which the author, the spectator, their memory and imagination and all or some segment of society will have to locate themselves. The axis, always figurative, but also recreated and complex, is the body, which is deposited on the canvas and configures narratives or correlates that combine reality and fiction until establishing a logic that intentionally dilutes objectivity and that, in turn, builds, a metaphor.
