The provocative and perhaps strange title of this exhibition in the Latin American context, we can say is a kind of collage in the language of visual arts or a pastiche in the literary field. The title of Moyshen’s exhibition has taken the M from Moyshen, the artist and Cutouts as a reference to an exhibition that Moyshen was able to attend at London’s Tate Modern in 2014, during his residency in which he completed his specialization studies in art in the British city, “Matisse Cutouts”, at the Tate, takes up the last years of the French artist’s life in which he almost abandoned the traditional means of his expression to delve into a new line reinforcing his well-known expressiveness of color with the force of collage, practically creating a new model of creation with cutouts (cutouts), an impressive collection of collages. Colors full of brilliance in dissimilar realizations that detonated and took the collage technique to unsuspected heights.
This exhibition that impacted our artist and in the same way as tragedy leads us to catharsis, sometimes seeing an extraordinary exhibition or a work of art moves us and disrupts our thresholds to transmit to us that mysterious voice that the same Kandinsky that Heidegger, and that this experience has led our artist to carry out this exhibition with a clear reference to the collection of the French genius.
Moyshen takes up Matisse’s proposal to transport it to his own personal language, taking care not to abandon the references to the Fauvist artist without being repetitive. Moyshen offers us a series of pieces full of novelty with the freshness of a young and current language full of the richness of an artist who has nurtured his career with international experiences first as a student and later as an artist with his personal exhibitions in various countries such as Spain, Italy, Guatemala and others.
Moyshen seeks to refer the viewer to Matisse’s work as a dream where he uses real elements to represent the validity of modern languages that enrich contemporary culture in its many facets and that have resisted postmodern criticism and the nihilism of contemporary art, to claim the validity of the heroic models of the modern epic whose light still embraces us. One of those necessary names is Henri Matisse.
