Uruguayan Diego Etcheverry exhibits his Luz y moral work, which combines the artist’s passions: fine arts and graphic design; at Monton Gallery, in Trigo Monton de Paja (Segovia, Spain).
Luz y Moral is a collection that contains childhood memories turned into intellectual references, the ones we have grown up with. His painting, with varied formats, joins his sculptures that simulate toys, graphic work and printed textiles. Etcheverry reaches in the eclectic joint an intermediate position among kistch, comic language and advertising illustration, provoking the spectator from a passionate chromaticism.
Ruben Bonet expressed, in a text for revistareplicante.com, that childhood references are the origins of today’s media culture, animation heroes and comics, as well as the new interactive games, and that’s the reason why the artist said: “I try to remain loyal to those things, Mazinguer Z, Star Wars, aliens invasion … the 1980s science fiction is a sort of nostalgia and I like to keep it in mind when I’m working.”
Diego Etcheverry (Uruguay, 1973) graduated in Fine Arts at the Uruguay Republic’s university. Painter, designer and illustrator, he has collaborated in different editorial and multimedia projects. Inspired by urban art, comics and the movies, he combines traditional and computer programmed techniques (2D-3D). His education as graphic designer and illustrator allows him to have a closer look to the communication world, unlike the traditional fine artist.
On this regard, he has said that he’s not the painter he used to be, he has became an integral artist as he’s good at different disciplines. Since 1995, he regularly exhibits his free and artistic aspects in halls and art galleries; in the late 2008, he created the virtual space setdebelleza.com, in which he puts on the map his works and promotes artistic initiatives that are hard to assimilate or digest, according to him. His work is present in private collections in Brazil, Chile, France, Spain, Sweden, U.S.A. and Uruguay.
