Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork depicts a surreal, dreamlike scene filled with skeletal figures and fantastical elements. The predominant colors are shades of purple and brown, creating a distinct visual palette. The composition features a central structure resembling a house or shelter, surrounded by the skeletal figures in various poses. The overall style appears to blend elements of expressionism and symbolism, with the artist employing gestural lines and distorted forms to convey a sense of the macabre and the otherworldly.

B.1990

Roger Muñoz (b. 1990, Costa Rica). He uses grim humor as a critical tool to project and visualize narratives related to power, monstrosity, and decadence. His practice is developed mainly through a pictorial perspective that branches out to other media such as video, installation, and transvestite performance.Through these media, he stages narratives of death and cruelty, social archetypes, and mythological relationships to unveil social class tensions and power dynamics. His work intersects dark humor, goth culture, and horror sub- cultures, on the other hand, with orientalism and latin american pop culture, on the other. We can think of his work as a sort of projection of tropical horror anchored in his country’s landscapes, trash TV, popular culture, the remnants of its underground subcultures, and horror movies. Roger's work thus reflects a global-era blend of developed-country imported culture and the native cultural context I was immersed in. ...
