SERGIO CHÁVEZ HOLLAR (Valencia, Actual)"Labyrinth", 2019.Etching on handmade paper. Copy 3/5.Signed, dated, numbered and titled in pencil.Size: 30 x 30 cm.Chávez Hollar's work addresses questions of language and identity by exploring the possibilities inherent in a universe of symbolic forms. His work draws on Mesoamerican sources: symbols, glyphs, codices, lexicons and other pre-Columbian elements, subjecting them to modes of artistic expression more generally associated with contemporary life, such as matrices, stencils and labels. In his most recent work he seeks to reconfigure the image by subjecting it to a rigorous process of abstraction and fragmentation. Chávez grite has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions in Mexico, Spain, Australia and the United States. He is an accomplished street artist and muralist. His murals adorn public and private buildings in London, Valencia, Mexico City and Oaxaca. Chávez Hollar has taught mural, stencil and silkscreen workshops in Mexico and abroad. Chávez Hollar has received numerous commissions in London (Mural "Macuil Xochitl" Wahaca, 2013), Valencia (Universitat Politécnica Valencia, 2015), Mexico City (Fundación Centro Histórico, 2015) and Monterrey, Mexico (CONARTE, 2016). I have recently completed a textile project for the Facebook offices in Mexico City. Construction of a Myth represents the first exhibition in the United States devoted entirely to his work.
