One Art Space is pleased to present: “The Struggle” by El Hase
“The Struggle” explores popular aesthetics featuring emblematic figures of boxing icons and characters from classic horror movies. Incorporating a diverse collection of found objects and various mixed media, El Hase, a pioneer of Venezuelan graffiti and urban art, presents a series of pieces and installations in which he displays his figures with distressing expressions and threatening postures, relating them to images from B-movies and horror films and referencing the constant struggle of graffiti artists and skateboarders to legitimize their art.
“In this series of work I want to express what’s going through my head when I walk at night on the dark streets of Caracas, my hometown, and to portray that feeling I rescue street objects at night from the dark streets of Brooklyn”.
“The Struggle” By Sergio Barrios (El Hase) will be on view from Thursday, September 20 through Saturday, September 29 Viewing hours are from 6 –9 PM.
