Sergio Suárez Mexican, b. 1995
“I PRESENT REALITY BY TRANSGRESSING TRADITIONAL BOUNDARIES BETWEEN MEDIUMS, MIXING ART-MAKING MATERIALS AND PARTICULAR PROCESSES. I BEGIN BY SAMPLING SECTIONS FROM VARIOUS WOODBLOCKS, COMPILING ELEMENTS FROM DIFFERENT TABLEAUX ONTO A SINGLE CANVAS, ASSEMBLING, AND GIVING FORM TO THE METAPHYSICAL FORCES SWIRLING THROUGH COSMIC MYTHOLOGIES. AS STRUCTURES AND NARRATIVES COLLIDE, TIME SEEMS TO COLLAPSE, AND THE IMPRESSION SETS IN THAT WE MAY BE SEEING THE SAME MOMENT FROM MULTIPLE VANTAGE POINTS AT ONCE.”
- Sergio Suárez
Sergio Suárez (B.1995) is a Mexican-born, Atlanta-based visual artist and printmaker. He graduated the Ernest G. Welch School of Art and Design in 2021 with a B.F.A in Drawing Painting and Printmaking. His practice, prompted by an interest in translation, uses different traditions of making to construct a visual language concerned with syncretism, temporality, and the porosity between objects, images, and structures.
His work has been shown around Atlanta, in spaces like Whitespace Gallery, Day & Night Projects, THE END Project Space, ShowerHaus Gallery, the Consulate General of Mexico in Atlanta, Take it Easy Gallery, and the Atlanta Contemporary. Internationally his work has been included in several group exhibitions such as the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair in London, the Haugesund Internasjonal Relief Festival in Norway, OPED Space in Tokyo, and the Ionian Arts Center in Greece; where he was an artist in residency in 2017 and 18.
His work is also included in the SGCI archives of the Zuckerman Museum. He lives and works in Atlanta, Georgia where he maintains an active practice at Murphy Rail Studios.
