Antonio Diaz

Brooklyn based Antonio Trecel Diaz's paintings depict images of death, violence and dismemberment, creating symbolic systems that screen the traumatic, renderings of figures slipping beyond recognition. In Diaz's economy, the body is always a body in distress, torn apart by malfunctioning tools, impossible longings, charts and representations. Drawing as desire, as a form of archaic magic where there are no ideals, figures or objects, only moments of immanent assemblages pieced together, pushing themselves towards the horizon of the visible.
