Jorge Rosano Gamboa

Lives and works in Mexico City, CDMX, Mexico

Artist statement

Jorge Rosano Gamboa (1984) is an artist based in Mexico City, whose work departs from photographic thinking, passing through painting, sculpture and installation, pointing to the importance of the relationship between the instant and its representation: the ritual of creating an image, its registration, its methods and, above all, the very instant trapped in the form of an image. His works create fabricated and manipulated spaces and objects where absence becomes visible, as they are composed of images that seem to be suspended because they are only a trace, a remnant or a memory, where image and ghost are one and the same. His recent artistic endeavors delve into the vibrant and multifaceted realm of Mexican and Latin American culture, drawing profound inspiration from the rich artistic traditions of a mixed culture, the captivating narratives of folklore, and the evocative language of magical thinking and poetry.
