ROBERTO FONFRÍA
REPRESENTED ARTIST
Roberto Fonfría (1969) examines issues of consciousness, identity, happiness, humor, boredom, masculinity, money and aging, exposing the centrality of time that belongs to each piece. His collages live thanks to his curious hands that choose specific pieces of paper, cardboard, thread, photographs and cutouts, and that are reworked on a surface to build a different meaning, a new identity, a new story. Uniting disciplines as broad as photographic transfers with drawing and writing.
