Carreño Victor Hugo Bravo
Victor Hugo Bravo is a Chilean artist, part of a generation that was formed under dictatorship. Beginning by the 90, his initial interest has been centered in the painting. Later, he would burst in the national scene, with a clear and mature aesthetic idea; wooden hand made objects, armaments as toys, entirely covered with camouflage painting. The painting as camouflage was a gesture of invasion and inversion mediated by color, transforming the three-dimensional object in a two-dimensional one, without hiding its condition of pictorial surface. At the same time provocative phrases like “dominate me”, “fuck me” and others appeared, allusive to power in sexual relationships, expressing the domination of a state and a denied right.
