Colors of Changing Personalities 1972

Curator: Luis López Loza's serigraph, "Colors of Changing Personalities," presents an intriguing composition. What are your initial thoughts on it? Editor: It feels earthy, almost primal, doesn't it? The stark blacks and ochres against the white give it a very grounded, material presence. Curator: Loza’s work engages with abstract representations of the human form, exploring the multifaceted nature of identity through a lens that considers social and political forces. Editor: Yes, and I’m drawn to the physical making—the layering of the serigraph, the texture. It speaks of labor and process as a means of understanding form. Curator: Absolutely. The interplay between form and color serves to deconstruct traditional notions of the self, suggesting a fluidity that responds to shifting contexts. Editor: The limited color palette highlights the essential materials. It's a study in how form emerges through the simplest means. Curator: It is thought-provoking in the ways that it asks us to consider how we perform our identities. Editor: It reminds us that even abstraction is rooted in tangible processes.
