EXHIBITION

Daniel Guzmán: Chromosome Damage

Kurimanzutto, Chiapas, Mexico, 12/13/2014 - 02/21/2015

ABOUT

Chromosome Damage is an exhibition of 30 drawings by Daniel Guzman, his first solo exhibition in a public gallery in the UK. Guzman’s oeuvre is steeped in the context of Mexican and pre-Hispanic imagery. This new series reference the imagery and iconography of Aztec deities, goddesses and earth mothers. Each drawing represents a single voluptuous female figure baring teeth and pop out eyes, who goes through mystic and troubling transformations, growing extended limbs, multiple breasts and hands; feet become tree trunks and snakes coil round them. The works, made in pastels, charcoal and ink, using earthy colours of browns, pinks and reds, are tantalisingly rich and provocative.
