About the Item
"Face to Face" by Aba Linus is a thought-provoking and enigmatic artwork that presents a powerful visual representation of human connection and communication. In this piece, two young men are depicted facing each other, both blindfolded with a white cloth. The title, "Face to Face," hints at the central theme of the artwork, which explores the nuances of human interaction and the barriers that can obstruct our ability to truly understand one another.
The blindfolds symbolize the limitations and preconceived notions that can hinder effective communication. By obscuring their vision, the subjects are forced to rely on other senses and non-verbal cues to connect. This piece encourages viewers to reflect on the ways in which we perceive and relate to one another, highlighting the importance of empathy, active listening, and the willingness to step out of our comfort zones to truly engage in meaningful dialogue.
The use of a white cloth as the blindfold carries a sense of purity and neutrality, underlining the idea that meaningful connections between individuals should transcend biases and judgments. "Face to Face" challenges us to question our assumptions and biases and prompts us to approach interpersonal relationships with an open heart and mind.
Aba Linus' "Face to Face" is a compelling work that invites viewers to contemplate the complexity of human interaction and the transformative power of genuine communication. It serves as a reminder that understanding one another often requires a willingness to remove the blindfolds we carry and truly engage in a face-to-face, open-hearted exchange.

Dog Years - Brightly Colored Self Portrait of Artist as a Aqua Colored Dog

Located in Chicago, IL
Raya, like every productive artist, is a collection of actions, utopias and talents. He is an acrylic painter and a muralist; an installation artist and a practitioner of the theory of the fragment as a synthesis of the whole; he is Chicano but his work has no passport; he is an obsessive self-portraitist (I, as the multiplicity locked within the I) and his an advocate of his community (in the fullest sense of the world); his is from Chicago and - being a nation onto himself - is a native of his art education; his yearns for the Tijuana of tomorrow while being a full-fledged inhabitant of the Tijuana of half a century back; he admires high-tech while being a fan of Frida Kahlo. --Carlos Monsivais
