Eduardo Cervantes "Keraunothnatophobias and Multispectral Plain Scanning"
Heskin Contemporary
This event has ended.
Eduardo Cervantes has created a large series of equally sized monochromatic paintings. He is working simultaneously within two imaginative views titled “The Keraunothnatophobias” and the “Multispectral Plain.” Keraunothnetophobias—is the contraction of three Greek words (Keraunos: Thunderbolts, Thanatos: Death, Phobos: Fear) used to describe a fear of satellites falling to earth; an irrational anxiety with an almost impossible likelihood of happening. In the Keraunothnatophobias series, Cervantes creates a chaotic environment of postmodern architecture; a merging of what looks reminiscent of radar antennas, nuclear facilities and power plants. In the words of the artist: “refuges for an imminent collapse of a manmade satellite.” These forgotten dysfunctional carcasses of space-junk pierce the atmosphere and appear as the remains from a now defunct mechanical era.
