about

Hugo Larqué (Texcoco, México, 1979) creates sculptures, graphic, and mixed media artworks.

His artworks are based on formal associations which open a unique poetic vein. Multilayered images arise in which the fragility and instability of our seemingly certain reality is questioned. By choosing mainly formal solutions, he considers making art a craft which is executed using clear formal rules and which should always refer to social reality.

The possibility or the dream of the annulment of a (historically or socially) fixed understanding of the Energy is a constant focal point. Bearing strong technological references and by focusing on techniques and materials, he tries to develop forms that do not follow logical criteria, but are based only on subjective associations and formal parallels, which incite the viewer to make new personal associations.

The artworks are notable for their perfect finish and tactile nature. This is of great importance and bears witness to great craftsmanship. Hugo Larqué currently lives and works in Berlin.
