The exhibition entitled U.S.A TODAY, presents seven works that tell the story of American society through a critical view of common themes such as: AIDS, obesity, the war in Iraq, public health, and loneliness, told lightly, almost ironically, but with a melancholic and nostalgic aftertaste.
The three crucifixions presented as a triptych depict the two thieves situated on the sides and Christ placed in the center, not of the traditional rocky Golgotha, but silhouetted against a blue sky invaded by very white clouds, the rough sculpturality of the body about to disappear comes to confront in the immensity of the sky. The so-called thieves have in the background contemporary landscapes that redirect our minds to the protagonists' unknowing faults, AIDS and obesity. The depiction of human pain and suffering enters the composition of the three paintings with overbearingness, but the informal style brings us back to a condition that is no longer dramatic, but ironic and mocking.
The African man is present in many of his works and is proposed as a victim of a social system that thrives on consumerism, and the great evils of the world.
The second series also composed of three works has images of the subway in the background. In one of the works titled Come back in America the foreground is dominated by a man huddled on the subway platform, a billboard in the background invites one to enlist in the U.S. armed forces, the tragedy of the Iraq war echoes silently in the august solitude of a platform, the red color of the background brings us back to the time now lost and the deep feeling of death.
Tupac© Digital Social Pop, makes his works with digital technique, a common artistic medium in today's art, the work acquires values traditionally pertinent to sculpture. There is visual deception because the three-dimensionality of the subject makes it appear real, but the verisimilitude of the individuals depicted eludes reality, the images take us back to a comic, and ironic environment. It is the irony of the wise man who is used to seeing the anxieties of the world and cannot help but represent them with disenchanted mockery.
