A view on art from the endearing artist Maestro Gaxiola. Plus my favourite supporting character the mysterious helper Bob.
Gaxiola crates his own paradigm on how to view art and what is and what is not art. If I agree with him or not is not why I’m pointing your attention to him.
I’m pointing you to him because I sense a mist of failure laying over the videos, but despite that he has ben able to succeed in creating an interesting persona and making videos that both entertain and stimulate thought that might go against your expectations, with the help of an endearing and strong personal belief in what he has to say.
Some enjoyable quotes from Gaxiola:
“The level of understanding art in this country, is not at a very high level”*
“Al guns should end up as art, their non functional”*
“Art is a religion not a business”*
“If you want to stare at a black canvas or something black just paint a piece of black square on your wall”*
