Piece description from the artist
Part of my "Habitante" series.
Being in a place isn’t the same as inhabiting it. When a place becomes a habitat, there is an active fusion between the subjects and their surroundings, and the surroundings and their subjects.
This photographic series is stated as a criticism that comes from abstraction; a call to recognize the social behaviors the inhabitants of this place have. As cohabitants, this call extends to us as entities sharing a one and only place.
From metaphors landed in the mineral form, this body of work emphasizes a detailed observation of organic expressions that reveal transformation processes and allow us to mirror human behavior.
The proposal of ‘Habitante’ (Inhabitant) lies in the influence that we humans have and hints at the urgency of prioritizing cooperation and humanizing over apathy, transgression and other negative habits.
Iván Hoyos Freyre (Sonora, Mexico, 1988) is a photographer who, from the lens and the curiosity to discover, creates detailed observation images that sensorially appeal to reflection and seek a constant change in perception. Through his artworks, Hoyos Freyre invites the viewer to reinterpret the space he inhabits and his interactions with it.
His work speaks through the photographic language and explores others such as videography and music production. His training and multidisciplinary experience in areas related to art and creative work, translate into an acute ability to materialize concepts and conceptualize images. Having worked in multiple countries, his gaze incorporates multiple contextual elements, about our surroundings especially.
Hoyos Freyre builds abstract representations that, while privileging detail, reveal the richness of what he is portraying. His work is characterized by the subtle exaltation of colors, textures, materials, shapes, lines and geometric expressions.
