About the Item
While his work has a clear figurative language, the paintings of Juan Miguel Palacios contain a strong conceptual load, where his work developed in series, has a constant wandering of the individual's identity and its relationship with the environment. Concepts such as mourning, duel, luxury, restlessness, and beauty are constants vital in his work.
Palacios focused on the reflection and development of situations of "inequality", which unfortunately still continue to define our socio-political and cultural landscape, in which aggression plays a leading role.
“The point is to make people hate and fear each other and look out only for themselves in this land of inequality that we have to inhabit today… It's going to be an extremely ugly society.” “Words with which the prestigious American thinker and linguist, Noam Chomsky explains the concept of inequality in his documentary "Requiem for an American Dream."
“Neoliberalism, as a political form that defines the economic paradigm of our time, is a set of economic categories that rejects every concept and idea outside its conceptual scheme. This neoliberal thinking of capitalism contradicts every fundamental postulate of democracy and human rights, given its predatory and violent character organized for the benefit of capital and the profits of just a few.”
Somehow, whenever there is a situation of inequality, there is an act of aggression. I have always been sadly interested in such aggressive behaviors, both in which an exercise of power and dominance is intended, perhaps as a mechanism of defense, and those that occur in the face of inferiority and fear. Or just simply those that are inherent in our human condition. In fact, we all have the ability to inflict pain on others.
Since I arrived to New York, almost as a daily task, I go for a walk or just ride the subway to nowhere with the sole purpose of observing. To see and analyze through the gaze, and make a deep reading of the city. The city of opportunities.
After a few years moved by the excitement and desire, among which, everything was fascinating, I began to feel that I was facing an army without destiny. As the city itself ends up trapping many of those who came with high expectations of improvements. In order to earn more money, or to excel and stand out in a career that ends up being goalless. As a result of frustrations facing the expectation, it makes us nomads without destiny trapped in the same circle in which we turn around without finding an end. How the lack of success in the face of others configures us tremendous harm and pain that makes us wandering like ghosts without significance or meaning.
Materials also play a leading role, the choice of drywall panels that emulate walls that represent the solidity, strength and hardness in themselves, but when subjected to constant blows they come to break and crack like wounds.”
Juan Miguel Palacios lives in Brooklyn, New York with his wife Ana.

Skull, Original Signed Contemporary Black and Green Painting
18" x 18" x 0.75" (HxWxD) Acrylic on Canvas
Hand-signed by the artist. Finished with a gloss varnish.
A black background allows the subject matter of this acrylic painting by artist Lindsay Hall, a human skull, to both pop forward and recede into the background. There is an amount of chiaroscuro happening on the left side of the skull, keeping it in shadow, falling into the depths. An item in a cabinet of curiosities, this memento mori work serves as a pausing point to sit and reflect on one's own mortality. The green tones to the white of the skull give this work an interesting dimensionality to it, almost imbuing it with life, ironically. The black background is reminiscent of artists like Caravaggio and the subject matter is highly reminiscent of Van Gogh's Skull of a Skeleton with a Burning Cigarette.
Artist Commentary:
I painted this when I lived in Richmond, VA above an oddities shop. Being in such close proximity to various curiosities like taxidermied animals, preserved animal organs, coffins, and the like definitely kept my mind in the spooky mood all year round. The building itself was black and had a giant grim reaper...
