Jose Dávila
Visual artist
Location: Guadalajara (México)
The work of multimedia artist Jose Dávila plays with contrasts: between movement and static, solidity and lightness, deference to history and the desire for novelty, while a natural balance between these opposing forces is manifested in his sculptures and paintings.
Unprocessed materials.
His seemingly precarious stacks of marble, concrete, driftwood and other raw, unprocessed materials accentuate the contrast through the interaction between human and gravitational interventions. The artist’s hand, visible in the imperfect outline of a painted circle or in the ratchet straps that hold together the massive rocks, works with the forces of physics to materialize, among other possibilities, the necessary symbiosis between humans and nature that could prevent the collapse of ecosystems.
