Fabián Ugalde

Fabián Ugalde (Querétaro, Mexico, 1967). In the second half of the XXth century, certain works of art transcended the realm of the gallery and museum, and became iconic in popular culture. The central tension of Fabian Ugalde’s work is the examination of factors that turn art into iconography. Just like Pop Art appropriated comics and cartoons, Ugalde uses the classics and mixes them up with insight and humor, admiration and irony, parody and lyricism, in a place where joke becomes judgment and judgement becomes a joke.
