Franz Caba (Dominican Republic)
Artist Statement: I use drawings as dialogs that allow me to connect my reality and the otherness. I approach drawings in an instinctive manner, using my memories as references and direct models.
The fat body is the protagonist of my drawings, perceived as a symbol for laziness and the static, i give it dynamism by distorting it, my characters interact with their condition in the same way i interact with mine. In portraits, heads, flowers and fruits, mimic each other, speaking about the pursue for identity. Inside my pieces i preserve the emptyness as a conscient space.
My drawings are nurtured by states of mind. My work is an analysis and critic to the ideals of the perfect self, finding fascination in whats vulnerable, in a permanent state of change. My work is a search for belonging, an exorcism of my fears, a political space of intimate discussions.
