POP LATINO

Whatever " Pop Latino" might mean, one thing is for sure: we are far away from the optimism of the 60's, as far as from the wealthy American way of life. And, compared to Marcos Lopez overcharged and striking/colored masquerades, Warholian Pop appear sober. Lopez photographic work alludes not so much to art history but to the process of increasing degradation of local cultures within the margins of the so-called global world. Nowadays in Latin American cities -the artist claims- our everyday visual and emotional experience has less to do with the inheritance of indigenous folklore than with the proliferation of made-in-Taiwan souvenirs.

POP LATINO

Mitä ”Pop Latino” sitten tarkoittaakaan, yhdestä asiasta voimme olla varmat: olemme kaukana 60-luvun optimismista, yhtä kaukana kuin rikkaasta amerikkalaiselämäntavasta. Verrattuna Marcos Lopezin ylilatautuneisiin ja hätkähdyttäviin/värikkäisiin naamiohuveihin warholilainen pop-taide vaikuttaa vähäeleiseltä. Lopezin valokuvataide ei niinkään viittaa taidehistoriaan kuin paikallisten kulttuureitten alennustilaan niin kutsutussa globaalissa maailmassa. Nykyään Latinalaisen Amerikan kaupungeissa – taiteilija väittää – jokapäiväinen visuaalinen ja emotionaalinen kokemuksemme johtaa juurensa enemmän Taiwanissa tehtyjen matkamuistojen ylenpalttisuuteen kuin alkuperäiskulttuurien perinteeseen.
