Carlos Alfonzo
Untitled 1988 Artist Proof

1988

About the Item

Alfonzo's style developed significantly, and his career as an artist matured during a period in which neo-expressionist figurative art came to renewed global attention. As he was exposed to great works of modernist and contemporary art in America, he internalized various styles – cubist, surrealist, expressionistic, and abstract expressionist – and adapted them to his free-flowing expression resulting in a style discernibly his own. A magical body of work emanated, combining intense autobiographical experience with cross-cultural mythologies in an oeuvre laden with penetrative, intimate messaging that recounts the soul and struggle of the artist's life experience through a stark, resonant system of forms. Alfonzo employs the spiritual iconography of African deities, Catholicism, and the ritualistic emblems of Santería in heads, disembodied facial features, daggers, and arrows to hauntingly convey eternal paradoxes of the human condition and the unconscious, an impression recognized by the leading art critics of the era. Carlos Alfonzo emerged not simply as a Latin American artist but as a celebrated artist of the Americas.
