Beschreibung:
Chromosome damage' is an exhibition of 30 drawings by Daniel Guzmán, his first solo exhibition in a public gallery in the UK. Guzmán is among the generation of artists in Mexico City whose radical and conceptual approach to art first attracted the attention of the international art scene in the 1990s. Guzmán is mainly recognised for his stylised cartoon-like imagery and texts made in ink on paper and walls. These works contain multi layered references to lyrics and song titles from rock bands like Kiss, AC/DC, the writings of William Burroughs and Chilean writer Roberto Bolaño, to satirical illustrations of Mexican politicians of the 1970s. The title for his exhibition is taken from ‘Chromosome damage’, a song by Chrome, an experimental rock band founded in San Francisco.000Exhibition: Drawing Room, London, UK (13.12.2014-21.02.2015)
