About Carlo Saavedra

  • Biography

    Carlo Saavedra is an artist known for his unconventional treatment of paintings. He hacks frames with a dull axe, allows paint to overflow the canvas limits, and creates suggested figures emerging from a coat of mud-like mixtures. His surfaces are abused with the constant process of trial and error. Saavedra's works are like palimpsests, and each work is "ugly" according to its creator. He prefers to take sidereal impressions of his subject much like occult-figure Austin Osman Spare. In his work, the subjects may be human, but they are alien in beauty.
