18th Street West Side Tiempo - Multimedia Collage

1990

About the Item

This 3-dimensional collage stories the trials and tribulations of Chicago's West Side Hispanic community the artist resided in for many years. Found ephemera and novelty items decorate the surface of this beautiful collage. It is floated in a simple black frame measuring 34h x 49w inches. Marcos Raya 18th Street West Side Tiempo, 1990 mixed media 30h x 46w in 76.20h x 116.84w cm MSR043 Marcos Raya brings together old and new works in a variety of media that mostly explores the sociological impact of technological change. His paintings, collages and installations present an idiosyncratic hybrid of Mexican folklore, American pop-culture. His work has more affinities with Dada and Surrealism, infused with elements of Chicago-Style Pop-Expressionism and Machismo. Through an extension of his own personal space, his frontier is filled with assemblage that takes life from the residue of crisis. His installations operate as both a self-portrait and collective history. In the context of a merging reality of medical and psychological proportions. His active space is an esthetic of abundance and display that presents traces of the ongoing struggles with urban displacement. Raya’s edge is both intimate in a domestic construction and sinister in a spectacle of public dimension.
