| Art work Description: |
| Acting as a surrogate for the human form, the fragmented greyhounds of Juan Perdiguero’s Perros Fragmentados speak to contemporary alienation, the expressive body of the greyhound a metaphoric illustration of man’s existential longing. Both visceral and sensual, the dogs allude to man’s most elemental emotions and behaviors, the true spirit of being manifested in their sinuous anatomy. Using a unique process of drawing with etching ink on photographic paper, Peridguero’s work is a confluence of painting, drawing, and photography, the luminescent results alluding to the old-masters and revealing Perdiguero’s classical training. Perros Fragmentados is a grouping of drawings completed while Perdiguero was a ThreeWalls resident in 2006. Each drawing reads as a cropped vignette, re-presented as an installation where the images appear to be ‘in conversation’ but area ultimately estranged, caged by the white expanse that surrounds them. |
