"Gente"
is a work of artistic installation that combines ready-made objects, and
acrylic on the support, as well as black fabrics. Each element in the work is
of great significance for the artist's expression of his conception of a
highlighted sector that makes up today's society. It is a work of social
criticism in which one of the main elements is a portable synthetic toilet for
sick people covered in synthetic gold paint. The object has an important
background, as it was never used, but was acquired by the artist's father in
the hospital almost 20 years ago, shortly before his death. Ironically, the
object was kept in the home for the past two decades, only to be intervened
later. The work is the result of artistic experimentation in studying the
significance of the actions of people who make up a sector of society based on
mass behavior and their confrontation with daily life using the most
superficial social trends of today as foundations for their responses.
