PEDRO REAL
Pedro Real is an artist who keeps making waves - not only for his sense of authority and philosophy but for his unique technique that astonishes and inspires. By layering disparate materials, mediums, and processes, he has created a visual language that transforms the violence in his subject matter into beauty.
VIOLENCE, REBELLION AND BEAUTY
Pedro is drawn to the ways violence is fetishized, commodified, and depicted as propaganda throughout history. Increasingly, he has come to see democracy as the counterforce to this—its true antithesis. If violence is coercion, white noise, convolution, democracy is the absence of it; if propaganda distorts, art, in its purest, most iconic form, reveals. Pedro feels that art is the world's most powerful form of democracy.
