The art show that I attended this week was to see the artist Alejandro Casazi. Alejandro Casazo began the presentation with telling us that he works with printmaking in the field of media. Right away I knew this presentation was going to be fascinating. In the beginning , he talked about the country of Colombia. He talked about the problems that are in Colombia like wars and drugs. He had pictures to show us that reveal this problem. He next talked about a painting which he calls Kissing the Pavement. This painting is based on a bad situation that happened to him. He told us that one night he was approached by some guys and they warned him that he would be kissing the pavement if he refused to give them his wallet. Obviously it meant they would beat him up. I thought this piece was amazing because it told a story and it was personal. Then he talked about F.A.T. Lab which is a piece in which there was food on a white canvas and when people picked up the food it would leave a stain on the canvas. He ended the presentation by having the students ask him questions. I thought this show was amazing because he spoke about his heritage of Colombia and personal events that happened to him.
