Valerie Campos

Valerie Campos is a self-taught artist born in Mexico City and raised in Los Angeles, California, where her first visual influences were street art and Lowbrow, an underground pop surrealism movement indebted to comics and punk. Inspired by a wide range of musical genres, Valerie paints sonorous and organic spaces, combining abstract and figurative elements, that she fragments and reproduces Her gentle, but profound, intellectualism allows her to formulate her idea-notion-emblem of the body-consciousness. Nakedness and transparency of desire, and the flight of eroticism, serves as conductive threads of an iconic grammar made of conceptual and sensitive-sensual forms. In its infinite wisdom, art innately functions as a structure of meaning between the living and the dead, mediates the poles of genitality (male and female) and articulates immanence with transcendence (creatures and deities). Reality is fractal whose material and imaginary manifestations form a continuum.
