Some­times, it’s help­ful to have a basic under­stand­ing of a lan­guage to help bet­ter con­nect with the art you’re view­ing. Other times, the themes seem so uni­ver­sal, and the images so imag­i­na­tive, that you don’t need con­text. You can enjoy them as is. The work of Pablo Bof­felli does this for me. Pablo, from Rosario, Argentina cre­ates images that are a mix­ture of con­scious­ness and imagination.

While there isn’t just one, sin­gle char­ac­ter present through Pablo’s work, there is a form that is mimic and rein­vented through­out. This char­ac­ter, in between a ghoul and a yeti, for the most part seems to be a curi­ous fel­low try­ing to make sense of his sur­round­ings. Some­times, they a places that we might rec­og­nize, while other times they seem like we’re enter­ing a mind over­stim­u­lated. Either way, we have a tour guide so I think we’re okay.
