Directed by Aaron Hinojosa '1958-2018', Mixed Media, 20th Century, Vintage

About the Item

Sublime work of Aaron Hinojosa (1958-2018), it is a work made in mixed technique, collage of fabrics and plastic. Period: 20th century circa: 1989 Measures: H: 100 x W: 100cm Born in the city of Oaxaca in Mexico, Aaron Hinojosa spent part of his childhood in San Cristobal de las Casas in the state of Chiapas. It is difficult for him to follow his education because he has to provide for his family. In the morning, he goes to school and in the afternoon we find him on the creative market where he works as a shoe shiner. These years spent in contact with artists will probably have influenced his future life. In 1977, at the age of 19, the weariness of his daily life and the desire to discover other horizons pushed him to emigrate to Europe. He arrives in London then leaves for Aix en Provence via Paris. Illegal, undocumented, he survives thanks to various odd jobs and his talents as a singer and guitarist. One day, he knocks on the door of Fine Arts where he meets Professor Vincent Bioulès who is a French painter and one of the founding members of the “Supports / Surfaces” group (an artistic movement which was one of the founding groups of art. contemporary French, both in painting and sculpture), he offered to take him under his wing. He then left for Lyon where he decided to put down his suitcases permanently. The people of Lyon buy many of his small papier-mâché sculptures from him, which he sells at a ridiculous price. In his small workshop, he works all day, surrounded by his friends or his children who are a source of inspiration for him. His works are a reflection of his personality, both simple and complex. We find in his work the warmth of the colors of his native Mexico, as well as the naive style characteristic of a part of Central American craftsmanship. To make his creations, he mainly uses salvaged material, because he said "I have no money".

  • Sculpture the Tiger and the Bulldog, Aaron Hinojosa, 20th Century
    Located in CRÉTEIL, FR
    Magnificent sculpture named "the tiger with the bulldog" is a unique piece. Mixed technique, particularity of its creator, mastering the recycling of all materials at hand, always with an ecological concern, conveying messages on what he lived or wanted to denounce in his time. Period: 20th century Dimensions: Height: 39cm x width: 25cm x depth: 16cm. 24 carat leaf gilding This feline is not chosen by chance, the tiger is a strong symbol of vitality, unpredictability, strength but also of self-confidence. It also strongly symbolizes ambition and justice. On his head, like a cap, the face of the man with his eyes raised to the sky. On his back, like a backpack, the bulldog's head. The bulldog, with its massive, muscular, stocky body as well as a powerful jaw evokes strength. His strength, his tenacity, his willingness to fight stronger animals. This sculpture certainly found its inspiration in England, or Aaron Hinojosa, the first country where he stayed after leaving Mexico. Victorian...

  • Contemporary Abstract Mixed Media Sculpture by Scott Gordon (Silk Road, 2018)
    By Scott Gordon
    Located in Sharon, VT
    Silk Road sheet metal 24 x 69 in. Artist statement I seldom use stock material, but prefer distressed and rusted steel that has been scarred, bent, and made imperfect. In this state, the material becomes quite beautiful. There are figurative elements in my work, though I am more drawn to the non-figurative, to the raw and essential aspect of steel. The industrial purpose of steel must be considered, its use in construction, manufacturing, the military. Steel is forged with enormous energy and power. The process is violent, loud. Here, it is still and approachable. The compositions are constructed mainly from found parts. Their relationships manifest as I interact with the material. The pieces interlock, balance, and become fitted before I fasten or weld them together. The engineering is elemental. Altering the material is avoided. The number of parts kept to a minimum. Art is my spiritual exercise, my selflessness. It identifies me as a creator and satisfies my human longing for place and purpose. It needs not to be great, or preeminent, or commercial. Art speaks because it is primitive. It exists because it is sacred. Biography: Scott Gordon was born in Ridgewood, New Jersey in 1966. He attended the University of Denver where he studied business and the University of Washington where he pursued an MFA in creative writing. While he was in Seattle, he was introduced to steel as an employee of the David Gulassa Company, a fabrication shop which produced custom furniture and architectural fixtures. At Gulassa, after hours and on weekends, Scott worked on personal projects, applying the tools and techniques used in his daily work. Lacking resources to purchase stock materials, much of the steel he used came from the scrap bins at Gulassa. He also used steel found along the railways, shipyards, and industrial corridors of Seattle. The characteristics and limitations of the material helped him to define his aesthetic and his approach to sculpture. He currently lives and works in Vermont. Inspirations: David Smith, Anthony Caro, John Chamberlain, Julio Gonzalez, Richard Stankiewicz, Tony Smith...
