Arte y violencia: algunas artista que desafían la representación
Journal Title: Revista Académica Estesis - Year 2019, Vol 1, Issue 7
Abstract
Violence is a central theme in Latin American art. From consecrated artists like Brazilian Rosângela Rennó, the Colombian Doris Salcedo or the Argentine Leon Ferrari, until newer generations, violence continues to be an inescapable subject. This article deals with how certain artistic practices evoke it away from the pursue of shock and explicitness by working with metaphors or subterfuges to denounce a violent past or present. The paper explores two new artists and two with a long career. Among those who belong to a newer generation, the article reviews the work of the Mexican photographer Clauzzia Gómez, and that of Adriana Corral, artist from El Paso, Texas. Among the internationally recognized artists, the paper focuses on the work Auras anónimas (2007-2009) by Colombian Beatriz González, and reflects, as a counter-example of the figurative treatment of the violent, in the work of Mexican Teresa Margolles.
