Having been based in New York for over 40 years, visual artist Jorge Tacla stands as a true landmark in the history of Chilean art, pulsating as one of the most relevant and significant artists of the present, who captures and interprets the contemporary national psyche.
Speaking of Jorge Tacla is like looking into a mirror and recognizing oneself in a Chile wounded and fragmented by its history. The harshness of catastrophe and its passage through our country, as well as historical ruptures, are part of what the artist captures in a work where every structure takes on new meaning. One of his most recent series, Señal de Abandono, is a reconstruction of traumas, narratives, and afflictions vividly transcribed through a constant exercise of reimagining.
