Sergio Suárez Mexican, b. 1995
"The permanence of objects through time, one of the main themes in Metaphysics, is investigated by Sergio Suarez’s works in a way that is at once poetic and philosophically resolved."
- Federico Campagna
Sergio Suárez (B.1995) is a Mexican-born, Atlanta-based artist whose practice spans printmaking, sculpture, painting and installation. Informed by Baroque intricacy, theological iconography, and traces of Mesoamerican material culture, Sergio Suárez’s work forms a universe where multivalent objects and figures navigate shifting landscapes and metaphysical architectures in dimensional flux. Often drawing from traditional woodblock printing, Suárez inks each block, transferring their images onto textiles, paper, and a myriad of materials. At times, his imagery remains unchanged; on other occasions, fragments from one block merge with and spill onto one another, challenging a linear understanding of time within any given context. Oscillating between empirical observation, material experimentation, and poetic/esoteric approaches his practice poses questions such as: How is matter transmuted? And why do we believe that time erodes when it simultaneously compresses dust into stone?
