About
The literal lines and meticulous technique of Sebastian Riffo Montenegro's original figurative artworks seem to offer an unquestionable realism where the images, textures, and palette are clear, frontal and concrete. However, the surrealist work of Riffo-Montenegro inevitably urges the viewer to delve into the underlying mysteries of the series; reconsidering what is initially offered as mere imagery.
This vibrant 43 inch circular artwork is painted with acrylic on canvas. Working with a selective palette and controlled lighting, Montenegro-Riffo reveals the intent of his work through veils of lucid colors and mysterious forms. The ensuing works refer frankly to socio-cultural icons that shape a subconscious discourse. Absence paradoxically presents clear criticism of current social mores. Through pictorial allegories, the paintings provoke the need to discern new meaning and awaken the tacit human condition of free will. The artwork is signed by the artist on the front lower right corner in red. This artwork is wired and ready to hang.
