ART BY DHANI BARRAGAN from SPAIN
The protagonists of Dhani Barragan's illustrations
often seem to break down, they seem to change their skin.
They are characters with very defined features.
Illustrations that are own heroes or antiheroes
or taken from the collective and universal imaginary
with which the artist wants to reflect the passage of time, the loss of childhood;
talking about broken toys from the decomposition
of different personality traits of the characters themselves ...
The tittle of this acrylic on Wood canvas in 50x70
centimeters is:
“THE BUTCHER & THE CAT STEAKS”,
and it´s one of a kind…although this painting is
accompanied by a very special Series of very limited Prints. ..
This is the first painting that inaugurates a kind of
creations that will become part of
DHU STORIES (or what is
the same, Dhani –Barragan- Universe Stories).
A universe that will deal with
the exploitation of pop characters.
Where some of them will be meat and other
stuffed animals...
And it will be made up of characters that were already in
Dhani's imagination for many years.
And others with whom he has been working
more closely over time. But now this universe is going to be completed more…
because he is going to spend time creating new ones, and developing others that
he already had in mind and that have sometimes appeared over time in his
paintings.
For this he is also using a notebook where he collects all
the sketches and ideas... and many of them will form part of an artistic book
by DHANI that also will be release as an artwork in some time…
…
Talking about DHU STORIES ... it is
inhabited by good and bad Gods, who are giant beings who play at their whim
with the rest of the inhabitants of this universe; and universo where you will
find different kinds of animals, spiritual creatures, pop characters, and other
types of inhabitants ... And where also will be different territories, spaces,
vehicles, plants, food ...
And all these inhabitants of this particular DHU will wear
to the Pop Characters, very much appreciated by all ...Pop Characters who are
nothing but, many times, old, used, discolored old toys, with the foam that
comes out of the seams… Pop Characters that will be used in this DHU as
resources, for clothing, for food ... And that can be real, or stuffed
(deconstructed pop)
SPRINGFIELD DECONSTRUCTED SERIES...
