“Heaven came from hell”. Óscar Seco and Manuel Mingo

 

 

 

Under the title Heaven came from hell  Óscar Seco presents a sample of his latest works at Blanca Soto Arte.

On this occasion, the artist exhibits, in addition to paintings, a series of models and a video made in collaboration with Manuel Mingo set in the middle of Seville's Holy Week.

 

Seco, as usual, tackles a work with an imaginary theme that refers to fantastic literature, science fiction and comics. His work, full of references to art history and the world of “B” movies, is full of irony and sarcasm. A corrosive humor that allows him to play in an apparently childish way, with many of the conflicts of the human being; war, technology, the current state of the art are recurring themes, hence this fertile symbology that ranges from the most varied fantastic fauna to the war repertoire full of tanks, guns and soldiers.

 

As a whole, Heaven came from hell is a journey through the personal imagination of Oscar Seco who, in the words of Alicia Murria, ”Opt for an ironic look in each of the themes, choose the game and the absurd as a way to find a reasonable meaning to the world…“
