Roberto Fonfría
His work explores human behavior and social rules with a critical eye and humor, touching on personal themes such as dreams, fears, and memories. The images come from old magazines, advertising, and photo albums collected at thrift stores. By extracting them from their natural context, he reconstructs them by adding references to popular culture as well as common phrases and insights that come from his Venezuelan childhood.

IMPERFECT AESTHETICS
Roberto Fonfría
Roberto Fonfría (1969) born in Caracas, Venezuela, examines questions of consciousness, identity, happiness, humor, boredom, masculinity, money and aging, exposing the centrality of time that belongs to each piece. His collages live on thanks to his curious hands that choose specific pieces of paper, cardboard, thread, photographs and clippings, and are reworked on a surface to construct a different meaning, a new identity, a new narrative. Uniting disciplines as broad as photographic transfers with drawing and writing. His method of creation consists of using images from old magazines, advertisements and photo albums, modifying them and adding references to popular culture, common phrases and reflections from his childhood in Venezuela. Finally he makes “analogical” modifications using practical methods, painting, drawing and writing.
