About the Item

he biggest challenge for an artist of Ugalde´s generation, who initiated his career at the end of the XX century not only consists in afírmate a distinctive proposal in times where globalization has homogenized the cultural identities in the artistic world, but to conquer the “peripheral” condition of Mexico against the “center” governed by Europe and USA, gained by international art fairs, and these in turn sustained by Neo and post constructs and theories. Hence that the questioning of factors by which some of the works of art of the second half of the XX century acquire an iconic character, had been assumed by Ugalde as the central matter of his work, and, in a certain way by his generation. Some of the works of art that entered to the museum in the last decades of the XX century, and that where recorded in the collective memory for its media attraction, are for Ugalde signs of his time, just as the mechanisms ofthe official taste configuration that characterizes his historical moment; in the same way that the works of Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Raphael were the paragons of the Italian renaissance and this at its time configured the western world back then.n more recent pieces such as Da Vinci Expandido (2016), Ugalde symmetrizes and recomposes, through precise cuts guided by a reticule, the portrait of the Monalisa in an attempt to come back to the origin of beauty which would imply a regression to the mathematical order: The symmetry, the rhythm, the proportion, etc. as an option that gives certainty to the fading of the aesthetic parameters in art. Manet Expandido (2016) and Grant Wood Expandido (2015) deliberately emulate the effect of some reflective pieces of Anish Kapoor where the image of the spectator is distorted when is multiplied in an infinity of diminutive hexagonal mirrors, Said distortion is employed by Ugalde as a metaphor, both in the anomalous relation of the history of art with the contemporary art, as in the frequent difficulty that the spectator has today to find it self reflected in the object of art.
