José Luis Martinat

The materials José Luis Martinat works with are often film, drawing, photography, writing and sound. By appropriating, manipulating and distorting pre-existing materials, it changes the original meaning and generates the possibility of new associations and interpretations. This work process reflects its interest in images as purely artificial creations and how reality is expressed through them.
Recently, the artist has intervened on symbolic materials of Peruvian culture such as canvas and brick.
