Debut Contemporary presents "Syncretism", a solo exhibition by Hector Sandoval, showcasing his master series of works at London´s Debut Contemporary gallery, in the frame of the dual year UK-Mexico, Mexico-UK. This exclusive exhibition will be open to the public on 17th July 2015, with the VIP private view taking place on 16th July 2015, from 7.30 to 9.30pm, where the industry heavyweights including gallerists, collectors, curators and critics will be attending.
The "Syncretism" pictorial exhibition is inspired by Mexican pre-Hispanic roots, with a balance between light and colour, in a new contemporary form of expression. Based on elements taken from the traditional and ancient cultures of Mexico, those colourful paintings merge within a global multicultural language, creating expressions at many times through colourful masks, large round eyes, luscious mouths, native-like silhouettes. It all connects with structures and patterns, reminiscent of pre-Hispanic murals now co-existing in a contemporary moment, like the ancestral spirit of Nahual, a radiant spirit that goes beyond borders to protect our dreams.
In his painting, Hector Sandoval finds passion for colour and balance, superposition of layers and transparencies displaying a signature style. Technique and creativity link with timeless traditional materials in the use of Amate paper, transferring a soft natural sensation to the art creations. Hector Sandoval´s work has assertiveness and reflects figures in an enigmatic way. This "Syncretism" that persists in the Mexican spirit, in a continuous duality that the artist communicates through fantastic shapes that reflect our daily living.
"Having worked with Hector over the past year, I have been incredibly impressed with his personal and professional growth. His ambition and commitment is second to none and his creativity has exploded in the past few months. Hector is an artist who is determined to succeed and his Mexican roots and heritage is such a powerful component of the art he creates. I am very exited and honoured to be part of his career success and have no doubts that the art world will soon know who Hector Sandoval is", Samir Ceric Founder and CEO of Debut Contemporary.
