Artist statement Javier Lara I am the son of the Americas. My upbringing among different cultures has colored my life and in turn has influenced my creative process. I create environments that pull viewers into fantastic and seductive experiences. I am interested in building collaborations with communities, artists as well as with audiences. I demand attention about social and current events in my work. I create nonverbal narratives that could be followed visually by the viewer through the exquisite images, sound, fragmented events, and the erotic flavor of my culture. The erotic flavor of my culture is present by the material I chose in the creation of the Installations. The intention is that visual seductive installations when seen by the viewer later evoke memories, associations, discomfort, anger and this will cause the audience to engage in conversations that evoke subconscious and conscious though and a call for action. By opening the lines of communication between the audience and myself through my work, I hope to create a new process of audience and art interaction. I pull the viewer to explore social unresolved issues in a seductive art setting, and hopefully help them find a path to work through unresolved issues. Click here for resume. |
