Andrew Salgado works
are highly remarkable because of the prominent raw emotions spilling behind the
fields of figurative painting. The sensation of such confronting yet emotional
wounded works activates the viewer to consider the tangibility and impermanence
of the body, but also conceptually questions the fragility of one self and
identity.
Salgado’s assertive,
bold and visually demanding work convenes the notion of masculinity and
personal identity into a provocative response to social mediation.
Salgado questions concepts of sexuality,
masculinity and identity, which are convened in the acute attention to the
representation of the figure. Salgado’s aggressive manner and political structural
style of painting provoke an ambiguous viewing experience to arrest and inspire
the viewer long after the initial encounter of his works.
