1964 Madrid, Spain

Since the late 1980´s Óscar Seco (Madrid, 1964) has developed his work through the appropriation of images taken from diverse media; artistic tradition, poster images, cinema, comic books and design. He also integrates literary references, specially those dealing with the fantastic, in order to stablish a critical domain of reality, from Borges to Philip K Dick. In this way the appropriation of imagery and the unexpected narrative clashes act as primary tools in the configuration of his discourse. Óscar Seco´s work places the viewer in front of the left behind, that relegated to a second plane, and its beauty. He questions that what is obvious and what is not, and seeks answers beyond. Answers that may well be forgotten in some backstage of High Culture, in memories of childhood past, or, behind the utopian narrative of modernity.
