Art Madrid'24 – THE ABSOLUTE JOB OF JUAN LUIS MORAZA

View of the exhibition

 

 

Juan Luis Moraza, Vitoria 1960. He is already a renowned artist, in the most contemporary artistic panorama. The work of Moraza, has been developed basically in the field of sculpture, not removing protagonism to the different disciplines, with the integration of these to their facilities. The painting, the implantation of objects or the audiovisual material, make that the work of Moraza expands in different registers, techniques and contexts. These practices have positioned him as a reference when it comes to influencing an entire generation.

The curator Antón Castro has carried out a tour in which we can appreciate the distrust of the artist before said society, which encourages us to be competitive and to develop as automatons, being thus laziness punished by collective thinking. As "reward" sacrifice and effort, reward the individual with values ??that give meaning to the constant work of our minds. It is a valuable social critic, to the routine that we develop day by day. A sample that you can not miss.
