Jorge Pedro Núñez Venezuela, 1976

Translated from Spanish

I am interested in combining and juxtaposing different historical referents that derive from diverse places and times, and which coexist in an object.

My work is related to drawing, sculpture, and painting rom their more basic properties, such as material and form, but the materials I use are mostly objects from other activities. I use recognizable icons stemming from modern art history, in the creation of a work that goes through deconstruction and the relationship of objects and ideas that question the link between abstraction, history, and contemporaneity.

Estoy interesado en mezclar y superponer diferentes referentes históricos que provienen de lugares y épocas distintas que cohabitan en un objeto.

Mi trabajo es relativo al dibujo, la escultura y la pintura desde sus propiedades más elementales como el material y la forma, pero los materiales que utilizo son en gran parte objetos de otras actividades. Utilizo iconos reconocibles provenientes de la historia del arte moderno para la concepción de una obra que pasa por la deconstrucción y la puesta en relación de objetos e ideas que cuestionan la relación entre abstracción, historia y contemporaneidad.
